Well..there is part of the problem. Please copy and paste from a terminal or output to a file. Conversely, if that is all that is in your /etc/profile, then you have other problems. ;-) > and see this: $PREFIX=/usr No, unfortunately I can not see it. You have to show me. I am not capable of telling the difference between your intentions and what you've actually done without you showing me what you've done. Please execute the following commands and copy and paste both input and output in your response: echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH bash -c 'echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH' echo $PREFIX bash -c 'echo $PREFIX' Here are some alternate commands that can show me exactly the same thing vs. tell me what your think you are seeing (and likely provide a hint as to why I suspect that the commands are not working for you as you expect them to): export | grep "PRE" set | grep "PRE" export | grep "PKG" set | grep "PKG" Also, just curious, why would you use an environment variable when the keystrokes are less for the actual prefix? -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
