hello,
I am tryin to install one of the packages known as stage for my robotics stuff, but everytime i run the
./configure am getting the error as

configure: error: pkg-config is required to build Stage. Install pkg-config, then run configure again.

I have installed the pkg-config, and it resides in /usr/local/bin directory.

But somehow its not getting recognized here. I know i need to set this path somewhere but where no idea can someone help me with this
/etc/profile and bashrc are read-only am not able to make changes to them .

Thanks
 
Add the following to ~/.bashrc (creating the file if it doesn't exist):

Code: 
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Open a new terminal window and you should be all set.
 
HI,
You are the Saviour as always.
Thanks for the tip and it works.

But sorry for wrting in the same thread, am running into a problem again.
Its like when i do a

Trinity:~ hetawal$ cd stage-2.0.3/
Trinity:~/stage-2.0.3 hetawal$ sudo ./configure
checking for pkg-config... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GTK... configure: error: A suitable GTK+ was not found.
GTK+-2.4 or later is required.

So i really dont know how to proceed further from this point. I tried
downoading the gtk2.10 but its installation is also giving me errors
as:
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package
requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.13.0
cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'atk' found
No package 'pango' found
No package 'cairo' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.


So i dont know should i really go ahead and install these missing
packages, or this error is somehting due to path settings .


Please advice


Thanks a lot !
 
Rather than building all the required libraries etc. by hand, consider using Fink or MacPorts (formerly Darwin Ports) to get the required libraries etc. They're already either in binary form ready to install, or in code already configured to compile cleanly on OS X. I've installed gtk+, atk, pango etc. using Fink.
 
I have fink on my system but dont know how to use it. Can you provide me wtih an example so as to how to get these installed.
However i noticed in one the readme for the installation that it says :
use below command ,

sudo apt-get install gtk2 atk1 libjpeg-bin

and when i do so it gives an error as :

Trinity:~/stage-2.0.3 hetawal$ sudo apt-get install gtk2 atk1 libjpeg-bin

Now what to do ...

?
 
Did you try the suggestion from the warnings shown above?

Code: 
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
 
yes i tried the update and even removing and again installing the fink but no success.

And now when i run :

checking for pkg-config... /sw/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GTK... configure: error: A suitable GTK+ was not found. GTK+-2.4 or later is required.
