Yes that is correct. pkg-config looks there by default as that is how the 
default configuruation is.  I ove all of the ones that are not installed 
there.  Less toruble that way.

I have not looked at that as I don't do KDE4.  I will look at that in the 
future after I get my LFS build completed.  I am moving from Arch Linux to

are going.
