I have been trying to deploy my shiny app to shinyapps.io, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I have pasted the error message and my session info below.
Error message:

PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

It seems the error is coming from building the textshaping package, and it can't find certain dependencies for it (i.e. harfbuzz and fribidi). I have tried following the instructions in the error message, e.g. I have tried installing libharfbuzz-dev and libfribidi-dev (via WSL), and then adding the directory containing harfbuzz.pc and fribidi.pc to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. But when I try searching for the file (e.g. "pkg-config --libs libharfbuzz-dev" or "libharfbuzz" etc), it gives me an error message like this each time:
Package libharfbuzz-dev was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libharfbuzz-dev.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libharfbuzz-dev' found
I definitely have the files, they are installed in locations like this:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/harfbuzz.pc
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/fribidi.pc
But for some reason they are not being detected. Is it because I am on a windows machine and I installed these via WSL so the paths are different? I really don't know what to do. I'm close to giving up, any help would be appreciated.
