Well, any way I can test what pkgconfig is returning for you? I only know what I have and most packages seem to be able to find pkgconfig entries.

And just where have I made such an assumption? I'm asking pkg-config where things should be put. That's doing it correctly. Are you suggesting that we don't trust pkg-config? By the way: I myself don't even use Debian or any of its derrivatives. Why did you assume that I do? >I know its difficult, but I wonder if things like arch, >fedora, and other distributions put everything where you might expect >it to be. If what's difficult? Concluding that pkg-config returns bad data? That decision, at least for me, isn't difficult - it's impossible! It's the responsibility of a distribution to define these things correctly. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
