meos.pc is generated from CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX at configure time, so a build configured for the default prefix names /usr/local wherever the files are later relocated to. A consumer that follows the installed library's own pkg-config file, which is how a generated binding discovers the include dir and the family macros it was built with, is then sent to whatever occupies the machine-wide directory instead of the prefix this script installed into. Configuring with the parse prefix makes the file describe the tree it belongs to.

Configure the install prefix, not only the install. meos.pc is generated from CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX at configure time, so a build configured for the default prefix names /usr/local wherever the files are later relocated to, and a consumer that follows the installed library's own pkg-config file reaches whatever occupies the machine-wide directory instead of the prefix this script installs into. That file is how a generated binding discovers both the include dir and the family macros the library carries, so a wrong prefix costs the macros too: the POINTCLOUD-guarded declarations stay invisible and the build reports undeclared symbols the library exports. A clean run of the patched script writes the parse prefix into meos.pc, pkg-config --cflags resolves to that prefix with all ten family macros, and the GoMEOS functions package builds against it driven by PKG_CONFIG_PATH alone.
