Hi,

Which build did you try? I tried to install the latest build for vddk1.1.1 (207031) and vddk1.2 (207203) and didn't encounter any issue.

Regards,

Wendy

By the way, if your host is a 64bit OS, you should pick the 64bit installation tar ball.

Can you try to set the environment variable

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

then try it again?

Good luck!
