libgphoto2 correctly installed, failing on preinstall script

[tim-harding]

Howdy howdy!

I have libgphoto2 and gphoto2 installed on my machine through brew. I can use gphoto2 from the command line just fine, and I can use libgphoto2 in a C-language Xcode project as long as I set the correct compiler flags and header search paths, as generated using pkg-config --cflags libgphoto2 and pkg-config --libs libgphoto2. Likewise if I'm compiling with g++. The Terminal output from npm install --save gphoto2 is as follows:

npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the gphoto2@0.1.7 preinstall script '((which pkg-config && pkg-config libgphoto2) || (which dpkg && dpkg -s libgphoto2-2-dev) || (which brew && brew list libgphoto2) || (echo 'ERROR: libgphoto2 seems not to be installed.' 1>&2; exit 1)) && node-gyp rebuild'. npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed. npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the gphoto2 package, npm ERR! not with npm itself. npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system: npm ERR!

I don't have an installation of dpkg, pkg-config libgphoto2 prints nothing to the console, and brew list libgphoto2 has the following output:

/usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/bin/gphoto2-config /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/bin/gphoto2-port-config /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/include/gphoto2/ (18 files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/libgphoto2.6.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/libgphoto2_port.12.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/libgphoto2/ (65 files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/libgphoto2_port/ (7 files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/pkgconfig/ (2 files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/udev/check-ptp-camera /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/lib/ (2 other files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/share/doc/ (54 files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/share/libgphoto2/ (6 files) /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/share/libgphoto2_port/0.12.0/vcamera/README.txt /usr/local/Cellar/libgphoto2/2.5.10/share/man/ (2 files)

Thanks in advance, and let me know if I can offer any further information.

This is happening for me on both Mac OS and Raspian.
