Hi John, This is a bit off-topic for this mailing list as your issue is a linux, specifically Fedora, issue, and not R. I don't use Fedora but I did a quick Google search on
fedora missing package .pc file and that came back with a lot of hits. This one in particular should be a good place to start. It gives some explanation as to when installation will result in a .pc file (seems to relate to -dev versions). https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33050517/supply-pc-file-for-pkg-config HTH, Eric On Fri, May 29, 2020 at 8:03 AM John via R-help <r-help@r-project.org> wrote: > > I'm not certain just what this problem is.
