I checked in aptitude and it says pkg-config is installed. Need help with "set PKG_CONFIG environment variable to that path tool." runing on crunchbang 32bit

Answer 1

Try to set PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config although it should be detected in such PATH automatically unless you've changed your PATH variable before.

You may also check if it is possible to pass path to pkg-config as a configure switch.

Check the output of ./configure --help | grep pkg.
