Package libffi was not found in the pkg-config search path.

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

Package 'libffi', required by 'gobject-2.0', not found

I don't know how to fix it. Please help me out.

I have the same problem here under OSX by trying to install PyGObject.

I already have libffi.pc on my pc (in /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig) and I added the PKG_CONFIG_PATH in my .bash_profile 

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig"

but the installation still fails because it cannot find the file.

When it is saying to execute the command specified in https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1603, where and when I have to do it?
