    Do i guess that the correct place for all the .pc in the whole wide world is infact in /usr/local/lib/pkgconf!

    Because if some people like me don't have everything there, so why are you telling it to only look there???

    I guess some distributions prefer: /usr/lib/pkgconfig but the sweetest
    thing is, you can export that directory to some envirionment variable,
    and all problems are gone.

    which env var is it ? because the auto generate hard code the pkg-config path to be only the lib folder in where your making it to.

    Managed to figure out were you guys were doing it in some of them, but in the Makefile.ac you had it hard coded in??? So i do not see how an env var would do anything about it?

    ps. I had a lot of problems compiling myself, since I'm not a
    main-developer just an experienced user of this project.

    I guess it is just the makefile.
