Problem installing HIDAPI on Linux Mint 13


I am using Linux Mint 13 KDE Edition and trying to install the HID API from https://github.com/signal11/hidapi/archive/master.zip
I run ./bootstrap fine, then I go to run ./configure and receive the error:

checking for libudev...
Library libudev was not found on this system.
Please install it and re-run ./configure

I run sudo apt-get install libudev-dev, but I am told that libudev is already installed with the latest version. Still, when I try to run ./configure I am told that libudev is not installed. Also, a few lines above the error, the terminal gives me:
checking for pkg-config... no

Does anyone have any advice to amend this issue?

Welcome to LQ.

Probably : $ sudo apt-get install pkg-config libusb-dev

./configure && make : No issues, e.g. Ubuntu 12.04 .
