I seem to have pkg-config per locate from the Terminal:
david-winsemiuss-mac-pro:~ davidwinsemius$ locate pkg-config
/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Versions/2.14.X11/Resources/bin/
pkg-config
/sw/bin/pkg-config
/sw/share/man/man1/pkg-config.1
/usr/X11/share/man/man1/pkg-config.1.gz
/usr/share/zsh/4.3.4/functions/_pkg-config
------
The UNIX Appendix of the Installation Manual (p 29) says: "Mac OS X
comes with none of these libraries, but cairo support has been added
to the binary distribution: pkg-config is still needed and can be
compiled from the sources. "
But that is not particularly helpful to me. Is there some
environment variable or path has not been defined properly?
Yes, try
Sys.setenv(PATH=paste("/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Resources/
bin",Sys.getenv("PATH"),sep=":"))
(BTW: I'm not quite sure why you would try to compile it from sources
- it's available in binary from from CRAN).
Cheers,
Simon
I tried downloading pkgconfig-0.18 but its README file is not
sufficiently detailed for my level of understanding of the UNIX
underbelly of Mac OS X.
