7 years ago The command that failed during installation is pkg-config --modversion libgphoto2 - this is usually because the "development headers" version of libgphoto2 hasn't been installed. Try sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-dev before installing python-gphoto2.

7 years ago I've edited the README and stopped setup.py giving messages about libgphoto2.pc so I hope fewer people will have this problem in future.
Hi,
I am trying to installing python-gphoto2 on an Ubuntu 16.04LTS system. I have previously installed gphoto2 v 2.5.9 via apt-get and it is working fine. When setup.py runs it complains that it cannot find libgphoto2.pc and terminates with multiple errors (abbreviated output from a pip3 installation is below - errors are at the end). I can find libgphoto2.pc nowhere on my machine - it looks like apt-get did not install it.
I am relatively new to this so apologies if this is a simplistic question - how do I fix this? I have found other users with the same issue elsewhere on the web with the same issue but no solution. Within the tar file for libgphoto2 there is a libgphoto2.pc.in file. Can I just rename it, put it in the same directory as other .pc files, add that directory to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable and it should work?
Thanks,
Gavin
