Error installing heroku pkg-config file
I am trying to install phash on heroku using https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-apt . I would like to use it in my node.js application using https://github.com/mgmtio/phash-image .
I currently have Aptfile
:
cimg-dev libphash0-dev libmagickcore-dev
However, I am currently getting the following error:
remote: > phash-image@3.0.0 install /tmp/build_52b169122dc28a567a6f55c3b892c560/node_modules/phash-image

The error says the pHash package was not found in the pkg-config search path. You must add the directory containing "pHash.pc" to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. No path to pHash has been established.
Try:
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
and then rebuild.
If it doesn't work
$ locate pHash.pc
this will give you the path to pHash.pc. Use the path (minus pHash.pc) and add it toPKG_CONFIG_PATH
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH= <path_here>
