makepkg for rtorrent 0.7.7.1 and libtorrent 0.11.7

Hi all,

i'm trying to update rtorrent to the latest version with the package provided in the community.
If I make rtorrent I get this error:

checking for STUFF... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables STUFF_CFLAGS
and STUFF_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

If I try with libtorrent I get this:

checking for OPENSSL... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPENSSL_CFLAGS
and OPENSSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

How can I get rid of it?

No, I don't have it.

Now I try with pacman -Sy pkgconfig.

Wow, thank you!!

It works well.
I had to install "make" package too, but now is working.

For simplicity, you can install the base-devel group:

pacman -S base-devel
