Public bug reported:
There is a package dependency problem for Scilab and pkg-config.
$ sudo apt-get install scilab -qq
then
$ pkg-config scilab --cflags-only-I
Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libxml-2.0', required by 'libscilab', not found
The libxml2-dev package contains the 'libxml-2.0.pc' file mentioned in the
error message.
Installing the appropriate package fixes the problem:
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev -qq
$ pkg-config scilab --cflags-only-I
-I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/scilab
More info about scilab:
$ apt-cache policy scilab
