Only one tqt.pc found.

ld.so.conf was messed up, however, probably from so much experimenting.

Well here is an interesting turn of events. I added the following to my ugly script function hack:

pkg-config --cflags-only-I tqt

The command returns no results.

When directly in a terminal the command returns the expected -I/usr/lib/qt3/include -I/usr/include/tqt.

So perhaps the problem is right there. For whatever reason pkg-config is not running from within scripts. Or is dumping the results to the bit bucket.

Anybody have ideas why? I haven't yet found anything on the web.
