[Solved] Package xorg-server was not found

For 'nvidia-settings' command I am getting the below warning

pravin:~$ nvidia-settings
Package xorg-server was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xorg-server' found
pravin:~$ pacman -Ss xorg-server
extra/xorg-server 1.13.2.901-1 (xorg) [installed]
    Xorg X server
extra/xorg-server-common 1.13.2.901-1 [installed]
    Xorg server common files

Thanks in advance

Re: [Solved] Package xorg-server was not found

pkgfile xorg-server.pc                 
extra/xorg-server-devel

Not sure why that package isn't showing up your -Ss, but that's what you need. Try refreshing your databases.

Please remember to mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.

Not an App & DE issue, moving to Newbie Corner...

If anyone else has this problem, remember to install xorg-server-devel via

pacman -S xorg-server-devel

Nope.
Please update your system or use an up to date mirror. Also, please don't bump old threads.
