Yeah. And why does it even require pkg-config, unlike any other library
that I'm aware of?
checking for liblz4... no
configure: error: in `/home/ubuntu/postgres':
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 LZ4_CFLAGS
and LZ4_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details
I see xml2 also mentions pkg-config in configure (next to XML2_CFLAGS),
but works fine without it.
