Hello List,

I need some help/advice/suggestions regarding the problem I am facing nowadays. I have been trying to install aubio on my Mac osx but for that I need some other packages like fftw3, libsndfile, libsamplerate and pkgconfig.

The first three are installed without any trouble but when I try to install pkgconfig. Do the following ./configure make make check

Making check in check make check-TESTS /bin/sh: line 1: ./check-cflags: Permission denied FAIL: check-cflags /bin/sh: line 1: ./check-libs: Permission denied FAIL: check-libs /bin/sh: line 1: ./check-define-variable: Permission denied FAIL: check-define-variable /bin/sh: line 1: ./check-libs-private: Permission denied FAIL: check-libs-private /bin/sh: line 1: ./check-requires-private: Permission denied FAIL: check-requires-private /bin/sh: line 1: ./check-includedir: Permission denied FAIL: check-includedir =================== 6 of 6 tests failed =================== make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2 make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

If I ignore the errors and go ahead with aubio installation, after ./configure , it returns with error message like that

checking for pkg-config... no checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... ./configure: line 21348: no: command not found no checking for SNDLIB... 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 SNDLIB_CFLAGS and SNDLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig. See `config.log' for more details.

after this I get this result and I do not know how to fix this problem. I tried posting a message on pkg-config list but did not get any positive results.

I am hoping to get some feedback from someone who is using aubio and has encoutered such an error. Your help will be highly appreciated

regards, tania
