checking for SSHFS… configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config.

The simple and quick method is the following. Please chech the versions for future releases. Run everything as root

# cd ~

# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fuse/fuse-2.X/2.8.1/fuse-2.8.1.tar.gz?use_mirror=garr

# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/fuse/sshfs-fuse/2.2/sshfs-fuse-2.2.tar.gz?use_mirror=garr

# yum install gcc glib2-devel

# tar zxf fuse-2.8.1.tar.gz && cd fuse-2.8.1

#./configure && make && make install

# tar zxf sshfs-fuse-2.2.tar.gz && cd sshfs-fuse-2.2

#./configure && make && make install

One more step to be able to use fuse

# echo “/usr/local/lib” >> /etc/ld.so.conf

# ldconfig

and you are done!

Enjoy!
