well I do have pkg-config (from MacPorts): $ which pkg-config /opt/local/bin/pkg-config which is in my $PATH $ echo $PATH /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/julia:/usr/local/MacGPG/bin:/usr/texbin additionally $ pkg-config --exists x11 exits without saying/doing anything, which I presume means all is ok, as by Unix tradition. Unfortunately I do have the same issue: * installing *source* package ‘vimcom’ ... checking for pkg-config... no ERROR: Cannot find pkg-config. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘vimcom’ I am not clear why pkg-config should not be successfully called by the build. BW F -- Federico C. F.
