Of course, you're right about /usr/local. It's been a while since I did an ordinary ./configure without specifying --prefix. What I should have said is that it seems to me that packages (rpm, deb, etc) end up being installed in /usr. If a package ends up in /usr/local, either the person doing the install compiled from source using an ordinary ./configure, or they changed the default install path. So my thinking is that somebody knowledgeable enough to do one of those things would also be knowledgeable enough to make sure that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set correctly when they get an error message trying to compile another package. Maybe that's too much of an assumption? bye John ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
