seek for help

[gushuji]

hi friends
     I have got a problem when I was doing compiling bitcoin source code, and find "configure.ac:1084: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR", which I can not know what is the reason.
     Could anyone help me on this? I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS now.
     Thanks for the good guy.

Do you have pkgconfig installed? Which version of Bitcoin core?

[gushuji]

Hi
   
I have installed pkg-config, and also I have used the command to set "export $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig",  still happens this problem.
root@gujianliang:/home/gu/bitcoin1/bitcoin# export $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
bash: export: `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig': not a valid identifier


And I use "git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git" to download the bitcoin source code.  Do you mean the bitcoin version will impact the compiling?

thanks.

try

sudo apt-get install autotools autotools-dev automake

maybe even try afterwards

sudo apt-get install autoconf
