Compilation error

Hi, I got this error during the compilation:

checking for socklen_t... yes checking for pkg-config... no ERROR: Could not find pkg-config ... is glib-2 installed ???

The thing is that I have installed glib2-dev, according to the instruction in readme. I also installed glib2-shlibs, glibmm2.4-dev, and glibmm2.4-shlibs, since I've read that it might help, but it didn't. For that I used the latest version of fink, if that matters. Is there anything that could help?

Thank you, Gulnara

It looks like the fink "pkgconfig" package provides the pkg-config executable:

It helped. Thank you!

Good to know. I'll go ahead and close this issue; feel free to reopen it if you encounter another issue compiling exonerate on MacOS.
