Hello All.
On one of my computers I am attempting to install libxxf86misc, something I have installed with no problem on others of my computers running EOS (I have no idea what it actually does or if it is even needed but, for some reason, it is installed on those other computers).
Here is the output from my command line:
**[ultralap-6440-i5-2@ultralap-6440-i5-2 ~]$ yay -S libxxf86misc**

**Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XXF86MISC_CFLAGS**
**and XXF86MISC_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.**

Can anyone tell me what I should do to get this program installed on this particular computer? At present I do not know how to adjust the PKG_CONFIG-PATH nor do I know how to adjust the environment variables. (If anyone’s solution requires that I effect either of the above, please give me step-by-step instructions as to how to do it.)
I sincerely thank anyone who can help me with this problem.
