* Updating brew install command to avoid warning

I am using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7.
To avoid getting the following warning : 
$ configure: WARNING: pkg-config is missing. Some dependencies may not be detected correctly.
$ brew install pkg-config 
needs to be run.

* Allowing build of additional modules

I was getting the following message:
$ The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:

$ brew install openssl@1.1    
resolved the issue.

* making this PR only about removing warning
