Two facts intrude:
1. 148 other files with the suffix .pc reside in the directory previously mentioned. 2. The environmental variable you mention doesn't appear to exist on my machine currently. I used the "set" command with no parameters and it did not show up on the list. Sorry folks, I am an old line pragmatist. The quickest and surest way to make something work is the one I will choose. Instead of expanding the list of locations searched just for a single package used by a single application, moving the required file to a place where the system will find it makes more sense to me. It is simple, it is sensible and it is robust. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
