Failed to install gdtools or svglite

I need to install svglite, but an error occurs: first I need gdtools, so I try to install gdtools and get the following error:

   > install.packages("gdtools", lib="/usr/local/lib/R/3.4/site-library")

I had the same problem and the following solution worked for me:

brew install pkg-config brew install cairo

Then I was able to successfully install gdtoolsand svgliteR.

I have a similar problem. See the output below at startup install.packages("gdtools").

* installing *source* package ‘gdtools ...
** package ‘gdtools successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Found pkg-config cflags and libs!
Using PKG_CFLAGS=
Using PKG_LIBS=-L/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.16.0/lib -lcairo
------------------------- ANTICONF ERROR ---------------------------
Configuration failed because cairo was not found. Try installing:
 * deb: libcairo2-dev (Debian, Ubuntu)
 * rpm: cairo-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
 * csw: libcairo_dev (Solaris)
 * brew: cairo (OSX)
If cairo is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a cairo.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘gdtools

And here is my conclusion brew config:

It looks like I have XQuartz, Xcode, and CLT installed correctly. If I run, brew info cairoI get this:
