Description Matej Stepanek 2006-01-30 08:29:46 UTC

I suggest this as default in gentoo:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
The user will possibly install additional libraries into /usr/local/lib and will
need it anyway. I can't imagine anything that could be harmed by setting this.

We don't ever install anything into /usr/local, if user installs something there, it's his responsibility to take care of PKG_CONFIG_PATH and whatnot...

Comment 2 Matej Stepanek 2006-01-30 23:59:13 UTC

I suggest to add it even if it's the user's responsibility - it will save lots
of users some time.
