When trying to install a large library of packages (such as Seurat or the tidyverse), one of the dependencies is the textshaping package. All of my installs fail when trying to install this package and I can’t use any of the libraries I need. The installation throws the following error:
- installing source package ‘textshaping’ …
** package ‘textshaping’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
Package harfbuzz was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containingharfbuzz.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'harfbuzz' found Package fribidi was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containingfribidi.pc’
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package ‘fribidi’ found

--------------------------- [ANTICONF] --------------------------------
Configuration failed to find the harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi library. Try installing:- deb: libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
- rpm: harfbuzz-devel fribidi-devel (Fedora, EPEL)
- csw: libharfbuzz_dev libfribidi_dev (Solaris)
- brew: harfbuzz fribidi (OSX)
If harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi is already installed, check that ‘pkg-config’ is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a harfbuzz freetype2 fribidi.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars=‘INCLUDE_DIR=… LIB_DIR=…’

How can I fix this issue?
