Running configure throws sh command not found error

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I'm running Parabola Linux and when I try to do ./configure from the root directory, it seems to run normally until this is outputted:

'''Check for required system libraries:

  • Cairo sh: pkg-config: command not found
    sh: pkg-config: command not found
    not found!

In order to build java-gnome, you will need the GNOME
development libraries. Depending on what you have installed,
this could be a considerable set of packages, but if you
want to be a GNOME hacker, that's the way it is.

On a Arch system, you should be able to satisfy this
requirement by doing:

 # pacman -S cairo

Failed to complete configuration.'''

I think that's saying you need pkg-config installed, which is (on a Fedora system) provided by the pkg-config package. Perhaps something similar will work in your case. Good luck!

Ugh, stupid me. I installed it with pacman -S pkg-config since I'm running Parabola, which is a derivative of Arch. Thanks for the reply, anyway.
