Description

On a clean macos system r2pm -ci r2ai (latest r2 master) will fail:

After looking at the r2ai repo I saw it uses pkg-config --cflags r_core to get the CFLAGS, but this silently fails if you do not manually install pkg-config. I will send a PR to the homebrew repo, but this would probably be good to test for and warn the users that packages will not install without it.
