      I'm using the steps of this site (https://mongodb.github.io/mongo-cxx-driver/mongocxx-v3/installation/) and I'm CMake is throwing this error:

      A required package was not found
      Call Stack (most recent call first):
      /usr/share/cmake3/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:597 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
      cmake/FindLibBSON.cmake:33 (pkg_check_modules)
      src/bsoncxx/CMakeLists.txt:67 (find_package)

      I have "pkgconfig" installed, not "pkg-config". Is that the issue? It seems that "pkg-config", like stated in the steps from the link above, only exists for Debian/Ubuntu while for CentOS it's called "pkgconfig"
