./autogen not working on Ubuntu to install watchman for react-native
I am trying to install watchman in Ubuntu 17.10, to run npm run android in command line to run React-Native in terminal.
I have tried sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential python-dev,
then when I run ./autogen.sh, it throws this error:
./autogen.sh
pkg-config appears to be missing (not available to autoconf tools)
please install the pkg-config package for your system.

Had similar problem and turns out that I was missing some binaries and that needed to run the watchman scripts as root. Here is a shorts script that I used to get everything working:
# install watchman
sudo apt install -y libssl-dev autoconf automake libtool build-essential python-dev
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
cd watchman
git checkout v4.9.0 # the latest stable release
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
# linux specific watchman configs
watchman --version
# increasing the watcher limits (need to do every time machine starts up)
echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches &&
echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_queued_events &&
echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances &&
# restart server
watchman shutdown-server
