Can't go get the package

[toster2015]

Using latest go 1.6.1 on Windows I cannot get the package to work. I downloaded and installed pkg-config but whenever i do go get github.com/abh/geoip I get the following:

pkg-config --cflags geoip

Package geoip was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `geoip.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'geoip' found
pkg-config: exit status 1

You need to install GeoIP Legacy C Library
Using brew on Mac $ brew install geoip
Sorry, I'm not a Windows user

I'm on a Mac OS X and still getting the error after installing geoip from Brew

$ brew install geoip                                                                                                                                                    2.3.1

Seeing it on Debian as well, the fix is to install libgeoip-dev. Can't comment on Windows though.

try it : $ brew install pkg-config

Ubuntu desktop 20.40: this fixed it too.
