You only have to set one environment variable: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig To me, just setting a variable once is far less trouble than moving files for every package. It also supports the situation where you may want to have trinity-3.5.13 and trinity-devel on the same system. Users who don't build from source don't have to worry about it at all. -- Bruce
