brew install pkgconfig
should go in the instructions.

documentation says

brew install google-sparsehash zlib cmake
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib/pkgconfig
(Setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH is only required with HomeBrew.)

is this incorrect?

or is brew install pkgconfig more accurate? if so where in the instructions?

would be cool to get a PR on this @jeabraham

The user does need to have pkgconfig installed. Brew might not be the best way to install it, but it’s what I did to fix the problem. I think people who do regular development in C already have it installed, so won’t notice the problem. (I’m more of a Java and Python developer myself, and my computer is new, so I didn’t have it installed.). Also, after installing it I had to rm -R the “build” directory and start over. Running the make commands again wasn’t enough.
