My googling skills are failing. I want to install a package which relies on R. This currently works on windows and linux. When I try it on my macbook I get told
> Configuring H-0.1.0.0... > Warning: Instead of 'ghc-options: -cpp' use 'extensions: CPP' > cabal: The pkg-config package 'libR' version >=3.0 is required but it > could > not be found. > Failed to install H-0.1.0.0 > Updating documentation index /Users/dom/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html > cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: > H-0.1.0.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: > ExitFailure 1 But I have R installed > $ R --version > R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee Sailing" > Copyright (C) 2013 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing > Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) It seems the installer for the package uses pkg-config to check for the existence of R. > $ pkg-config --version > 0.28 It finds e.g. the gnu scientific library > $ pkg-config --libs gsl > -L/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm But can’t find R > $ pkg-config --libs R > Package R was not found in the pkg-config search path. > Perhaps you should add the directory containing `R.pc' > to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable > No package 'R' found On my installation, R lives in > /Library/Frameworks/R.framework In order to use pkg-config, it seems I need a .pc file somewhere but I can’t find one. Can someone either tell me where the .pc file is for R or alternatively how to tell the installer where to find R?
