Perhaps you should add the directory containing `vips.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

should I try installing vips from source?

Hello, which version of sharp is this? Does the latest v0.17.3 work?

[troyxmccall]

hey @lovell, it's [email protected] from Laravel Elixir/ gulp-responsive, if I do a clean install of [email protected] it works. Apologies, it's probably a dependency issue. I should've checked that before filing this issue.
