Unable to install due to missing pkg-config dependency #48

Closed robynsmith closed 7 years ago

robynsmith commented 7 years ago

Unable to run npm install due to the following error on Mac OS:

/bin/sh: pkg-config: command not found
gyp: Call to 'pkg-config libzmq --libs' returned exit status 127 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1

gyp ERR! stack     at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:215:12)
gyp ERR! System Darwin 16.6.0

The fix was:

brew install pkg-config

It might be worth noting that pkg-config is required in the Prereqs section of the readme.
