If you never need to build multilib (e.g. 32-bit and 64-bit) then moving them should not cause you any trouble. Looking at Arch for xorgproto, the only pc file that I see mentioned at https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/xorgproto/trunk/PKGBUILD is applewmproto.pc which they remove as part of cleaning up the apple stuff. I don't see any mention of the other pc files being moved. Similarly, fedora, mandriva cooker are using /usr/share. ĸen -- Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. -- Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
