I had the same issue in 10.10.5, but have got round it.

first edit your

~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, 

to contain all the possible pkgconfig paths:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig/
for i in `ls /usr/local/opt/`;
do
    if [ -d "/usr/local/opt/$i/lib/pkgconfig" ];
    then export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:"/usr/local/opt/$i/lib/pkgconfig";
    fi;
done

start a new session and run

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

make sure the output is what you expect, a very long list of paths.

Now pass those paths into brew install using a tip I got from toots here :)

brew install --env=std liquidsoap

That got me past this. It happened to me when I tried to install ffmpeg using brew --with-* various libraries) if only I had found toot's tip before it would have saved me a few hours. thnx
