Cannot find pkg-config error

Question

I am trying to install some software on my mac  however I keep receiving the same error   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 XMEDCON GLIB CFLAGS and XMEDCON GLIB LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config  See the pkg-config man page for more details   To get pkg-config  see  lt http   pkg-config freedesktop org  gt   See  config log  for more details   I am not quite sure how to go about adding the pkg-config to the PATH  I have seen online  see link  that I should add the following   Link showing how to direct PATH variable  export PATH  PATH  opt local bin       Fixed typo as mentioned in comment   which is where I have placed pkg-config  I still keep getting the error though every time I try to configure the files using   configure  Any help would be super appreciated

if you have this error    configure  error  Either a previously installed pkg-config or  glib-2 0  gt   2 16  could not be found  Please set GLIB CFLAGS and GLIB LIBS to the correct values or pass --with-internal-glib to configure to use the bundled copy    Instead of do this command        configure  amp  amp  make install   Do that      configure --with-internal-glib  amp  amp  make install
