Issues installing Cairo.jl on macOS 10.13

[sivapvarma]

Below is the command's output

looks like freetype dependency is not being installed by Homebrew.

configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FREETYPE_CFLAGS
and FREETYPE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details

@sivapvarma Have you reported to Homebrew.jl?

[sivapvarma]

I opened an issue there now.

[v-i-s-h]

I tried executing the failed command from terminal and git this output.

iMac-vish:~ vish$ /Users/vish/.julia/v0.6/Homebrew/deps/usr/bin/brew install --ignore-dependencies staticfloat/juliatranslated/fontconfig
Error: No available formula with the name "staticfloat/juliatranslated/fontconfig" 
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
==> Searching local taps...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.

Is this a problem with homebrew or Cario.jl?

[lobingera]

The error message you see is a brew/Homebrew problem.

[v-i-s-h]

Now with Pkg.build("Cairo") it works for me!
Pkg.test( "Cairo" ) reports all tests are passed.

How did you fix it? I still have this problem on both Hi Sierra and Mojave.

Here's my log.

@BlueFlo0d This looks like #271.
