"pkg-config script could not be found" on OSX
linux, macos
Solution
Answer to my question (after several Google searches) revealed the following:
$ curl https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.tar.gz -o pkgconfig.tgz
$ tar -zxf pkgconfig.tgz && cd pkg-config-0.29
$ ./configure && make install
from the following link: Link showing above
Thanks to everyone for their comments, and sorry for my linux/OSX ignorance!
Doing this fixed my issues as mentioned above.
Problem
I am trying to install some software on my mac; however I keep receiving the same error: ``` configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XMEDCON_GLIB_CFLAGS and XMEDCON_GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>. See `config.log' for more details ``` I am not quite sure how to go about adding the pkg-config to the PATH. I have seen online (see link) that I should add the following: Link showing how to direct PATH variable ``` export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin # Fixed typo as mentioned in comment ``` which is where I have placed pkg-config. I still keep getting the error though every time I try to configure the files using ./configure. Any help would be super appreciated!
