• 此问题为安装libvmi后在安装pyvmi时出现
• libvmi安装过程

# sudo ./autogen.sh
# sudo ./configure
# sudo make
# sudo make install

• libvmi默认安装目录是/usr/local,libvmi.pc这个文件在/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig下
• 进入libvmi的解压包下的/tools/pyvmi进行pyvmi安装时需要用到libvmi.pc这个文件

# sudo python setup.py build
# sudo python setup.py install

• 在build时可能报以下的错

Package libvmi was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you shoud add the directory containing `libvmi.pc` to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package `libvmi` found:没有那个文件或目录

• 原因在于安装pyvmi时需要用到libvmi.pc，其搜索路径为pkg-config.而pkg-config在大多数操作系统上主要包括以下几个目录：

/usr/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/share/pkgconfig
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/local/share/pkgconfig

• 经验证在CentOS7.1下安装pyvmi时搜索的目录为/usr/share/pkgconfig，所以把/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig下的libvmi.pc复制到该目录下

# sudo cp /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libvmi.pc /usr/share/pkgconfig
