Pkg-config script cannot be found #27

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
After installing Macfuse I go to ./configure NTFS-3g and get error that
Pkg-config cannot be found. I've tried installing different versions of
Pkg-config and still nothing. Tried editing the NTFS-3g config file to
point to pkg-config but still i get the error.

Please post the exact error you are getting, and the commands you used to 
install
pkg-config.

I did all those steps myself by following the HOWTO here:
http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/HOWTO
and I compiled and installed NTFS-3G too by following those instructions:

The only thing I had to change was my PATH; I had /sw/bin/ (Fink) in my PATH 
before
/usr/local/bin, and since I already had pkg-config installed in Fink, that's 
the one
./configure was trying to use. By moving /usr/local/bin before /sb/bin in my 
PATH
variable, everything worked fine.

I've had issues with pkg-config in the past; not so much an issue with the 
program
itself, but with other programs needing to be installed before it will work 
properly.
 Unfortunately, the error you get from ./configure is wrong - it says pkg-config
cannot be found, when the problem is that pkg-config will not run properly.

Look through config.log and find the exact line that was run for pkg-config, 
and type
that line in a terminal window.  9 times out of 10, pkg-config will tell you 
that
there's some missing bits that it can't find, and when you solve that the 
./configure
line will run successfully (it's been awhile since I had to do it, so I don't 
now
remember what other things needed to be installed for pkg-config to run 
properly)

Thank you guillaume.boudreau, I change the path the read /usr/local/bin and it 
worked.
