M1 Macbook Pro with Monterey | Error with installing virt-viewer

[andreas-fahrecker]

Hello people,

I have a Macbook M1 Pro with macOS Monterery (Version 12.6.1).
And when I want to install virt-viewer I get the following error . Has anyone a idea how to solve this?

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables SPICE_GTK_CFLAGS
and SPICE_GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!

@andreas-fahrecker I don't have an M1 mac currently on me to test this but can you try the following

brew untap jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager; brew tap krishjainx/homebrew-virt-manager, brew install virt-manager

I am also facing the same issue on my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro.

I am experiencing this bug on an M1 macbook pro. I tried installing gobject-introspection manually using brew but the same issue occurs.

This worked for me on my M1 Air. Thanks @krishjainx !
