Hi,

When I run pip install gphoto2 I get the following error:

`Collecting gphoto2 Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/f2/55/dcd3834757c13fcdf7f611e67b6636b773754057202ce60a54e656528f92/gphoto2-1.9.0.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: ERROR: command "pkg-config --modversion libgphoto2" failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/tmp/pip-install-q16pg5xz/gphoto2/setup.py", line 38, in cmd, stderr=FNULL, universal_newlines=True).split('.')

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-q16pg5xz/gphoto2/`

I get the same error when I run the command with sudo. Libgphoto2 is installed and working. I don't have any issue when I install the Ubuntu maintained package.

Try directly running the command pkg-config --modversion libgphoto2, i.e. the command that failed according to the error message. My guess is that you haven't installed the "development" version of libgphoto2 (i.e. its header files), but it's possible you don't have the pkg-config command.

@colibrisson Did you get anywhere with this?
