Subject: In OSX (Mountain Lion), cannot find Cairo nor xcb-shm
My apologies if I'm missing something simple, but after a significant amount of Googling, I'm still unable to install Cairo via CPAN on OSX Mountain Lion. When executing Makefile.PM, I get the following: Package xcb-shm was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb-shm.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'xcb-shm', required by 'cairo', not found at Makefile.PL line 99. *** can not find package cairo >= 1.0.0 *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH at Makefile.PL line 99. However, the correct directories are set in PKG_CONFIG_PATH: $echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/X11/lib/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/: And I've confirmed that xcb-shm is in the former and Cairo is in the latter. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Thank you for your time, Jack Maney jackmaney@gmail.com

That should work, yes. I assume that pkg-config --modversion cairo fails similarly to the Makefile.PL. Then try running pkg-config --debug --modversion cairo and see if that provides any clues.

Surprisingly, it doesn't fail: $ pkg-config --modversion cairo 1.12.10 I installed Cairo via Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/), if that makes a difference (although I'm not sure how it should).

Ah, but this does fail on xcb-shm: $ pkg-config --modversion xcb-shmPackage xcb-shm was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb-shm.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xcb-shm' found I've attached the output of pkg-config --debug --modversion xcb-shm.

So, are you sure that xcb-shm.pc is in /usr/X11/lib, not in something like /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig?

There are (currently) no subdirectories of /usr/X11/lib, and the file that I thought corresponded to xcb-shm is libxcb-shm.0.dylib. I take it that this isn't the correct library?

It is probably the correct library, but the pkg-config utility is not looking for library files, but for *.pc files. They contain information on how to compile and link against the library. For example, the *.pc file for cairo appears to be at /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc on your system. You need to find a way to get xcb-shm.pc installed on your system. Often, the *.pc files are in a "dev" or "devel" package associated to the package that contains the actual library.

I went through the process of installing libxcb from source (which involved installing some prerequisites from source), which ended up in /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig. After updating PKG_CONFIG_PATH, the installation worked. Thank you for your patience.
