This message means that Autoconf didn’t pick up the definition of the
‘PKG_CHECK_MODULES’ M4 macro.

That macro is provided by pkg.m4, from the ‘pkg-config’ package.  Thus,
if you install ‘pkg-config’, Autoconf should automatically find it.

(If you still have Guix 0.2 installed, you can run ‘guix package -i
autoconf -i automake -i pkg-config’, and export the environment
variables as noted.)

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
