Hi Marcel,

Thanks! That did the trick and it installed without error. 

So, if I may be so bold as to ask a little more help :-),  I now have a configuration that almost works.  I can plug a DBT-120 dongle into the linux laptop and it seems to find and initialize it appropriately.  Similarly,  I can use hcitool -inq and detect the embedded bluetooth device.  When I try to connect with hcitool cc, I get an input/output error.  FWIW, I'm able to connect the devices and exchange data if I plug the same dongle into a Windows box.

Here are the outputs from the hci commands.

bash-3.00$ sudo /usr/sbin/hciconfig -a

Any recommendations for troubleshooting?

Thanks for your help.

run "find /usr -name 'dbus*.pc'" to find the actual pkg-config file from
your D-Bus installation.
