What
What Dirk said! I'd also just add that it's useful to have a fallback
in case pkg-config fails, e.g., compile what you need from
source. The configure script in RcppRedis looks like a good example of that.

I think the correct way to do it is through the configure script. See
for example the Cairo package that uses pkg-config. Configure scripts
are slightly hard to work through in my experience, but are worth it
if you need customization of the installation environment.

I am using this command to set an environment variable `
Sys.setenv(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=paste(Sys.getenv('PKG_CONFIG_PATH'),paste(.libPaths(),'my_package/lib/pkgconfig',sep='/',collapse=':'),sep=':'));’
before install my package. It works fine if I run it before installing my
package.
How can I do t
