Pkg-config help

I searched the forums but I'm still a little lost. Trying to build xarchiver.

checking for egrep... grep -E
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for PACKAGE... 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.

Now, the search on the forums told me I need to make sure the .pc file is in my package config path. However, I don't know what .pc file I'm looking for. Thanks for the help.

Re: Pkg-config help

[root@workstation64 andyrtr]# pacman -Qo /usr/bin/pkg-config
/usr/bin/pkg-config is owned by pkgconfig 0.19-1

So "pacman -Sy pkgconfig" should solve it.

Re: Pkg-config help

$ pacman -S pkgconfig
will probably fix that.

EDIT: Too late!

Re: Pkg-config help

I'm pretty embarrassed  . I did a seach for pkg on the main site. But I guess I just overlooked it. Thanks for the help guys.
