Cannot install on Mac about python-gphoto2

[jim-easterbrook]

I think the pkg-config command is missing. (I've assumed this is present on any system capable of compiling software - obviously I shouldn't.)

Easily Fixed by Installing pkg-config with Homebrew
brew install pkg-config NO ROOT.

I guess you can close this now.

Hi.
I get something similar on windows with python 3.5 (also tried with python 2.7).

Traceback (most recent call last):

mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error)

Thanks.

Have you installed pkg-config?
(I wasn't aware that libgphoto2 is available for Windows, so haven't considered any specific build settings for Windows.)

Tried on a raspberry pi (jessi, python 2.7).
sudo aptitude install pkg-config
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install gphoto2 ->same error.

Will try with brew later.

I usually use apt-get to install packages on a Pi. I doubt it's exactly the same error as pkg-config is now installed. I suspect it's now the development headers of libgphoto2 (or Python) that are missing.

Finally getting somewhere. You were right about missing libs. Thanks a lot!
