Issue building jzmq

[jameslovell]

I am trying to compile jzmq on OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite). As prerequisites to building I have:

• downloaded and installed autoconf-2.69, automake-1.14, libtool-2.4.2, pkg-config-0.28
• I have verified that /usr/local/pkg-config-0.28/bin is on the path
• I have verified that pkg.m4 is located at /usr/share/aclocal/ (-rwxr-xr-x permissions)
• downloaded and installed zeromq-4.0.5 (not sure how to validate this install)

When I try to run ./configure in the jzmq directory I get the following as the final lines of output: ./configure: line 15436: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./configure: line 15436: PKG_CHECK_MODULES('

Others have had a quite similar problem and solutions all point to a mis-installation/configuration of pkg-config-0.28. I think I have done this correctly but the problem persists. Ideas?

Hi @jameslovell, I'm also using OSX 10.10.1 but am able to build without problems and all the tests come back green. This are the commands I used:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ mvn test

$ pkg-config --version
0.28

Thanks @trevorbernard. I did exactly as you suggest. It must be an environmental thing on my end because when I run ./configure I get the error posted in my original message. Because of the error make has nothing to run. So I am quite stuck.

$ ./configure ...... (a bunch of output with no warnings or errors - until) ./configure: line 15436: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./configure: line 15436: PKG_CHECK_MODULES('

as you noted, when I run "pkg-config --version" I also get the following: $ pkg-config --version 0.28

I have the same problem here although my version of pkg-config is 0.27.1. Can anyone update this request or did anyone find a solution for this issue?
