Yes! I know I installed pkg-config at some point to deploy to pypi. I thought it was after installing secp256k1, but not totally sure. Was unsure if it was an intel vs M1 Mac issue, but I also ran into dependency issues trying to install on an Ubuntu vm yesterday with additional dependency issues.
Haven’t looked into it, but wondering if smothering like this could solve dependency issues for people like us who are just trying to get an environment running and don’t car as much about keeping dependencies to a minimum
