npm install failure at node-gyp rebuild

[gladiahotan]

Hi, I'm working on OS X and I have run brew install pkg-config and brew install --devel protobuf. However, npm install fails at node-gyp rebuild. The error message suggested that I should add the directory containing `protobuf.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

I ran export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/), but this did not seem to change my environment variable (running 'env' shows the PKG_CONFIG_PATH as blank).

I also did: nano .bash_profile Added the line PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/) to the .bash_profile file and saved it Then did: source .bash_profile But it returns: -bash: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/: is a directory Then I ran 'env' and PKG_CONFIG_PATH is still blank.

I have attached the error log. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

It's export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. Note the absence of $() operator.
