Problem:
The pkg-congif on my unix server can not find librsvg-2.0 in the pkg-config search path
Debug process
I tried to get rsvg installed and I got the error posted at the bottom.
I know librsvg is installed since I reinstalled it and it said the latest version was installed using:
sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin
I think Ithe next step is to set the pkg-config to see the new install.
How do I do this?
I have the package installed on a separate nonproject server and I get this result
pkg-config --cflags librsvg-2.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/librsvg-2.0 -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libmount -I/usr/include/blkid -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/uuid -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng16
on the problem server I get
pkg-config --cflags librsvg-2.0Package librsvg-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `librsvg-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'librsvg-2.0' found`

If librsvg-2.0 is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a librsvg-2.0.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=...'
