I have a package that installs an rc file that tells the application where it's files are... in this case, /usr - i.e., this file basically contains the --prefix= path. Apparently this is a qt3 thing, of sorts.
I'd think this should go in /etc, then again, it's not something that ever gets changed, can it go somewhere in /usr/share ? Maybe /usr/share/qt3/* some place? I have configured with a --with-qsettings-dir switch set to "/etc", but the rc file still gets installed in /. So I add a QSETTINGSDIR environment variable. Now the rc file is installed in the right place, but the application isn't finding it. From strace I see it is looking for /usr/etc/settings/kmatplotrc (the package in question is kmatplot). This is some qt3 functionality, I believe - so is this hardcoded into the qt3 libs, maybe, and I need to set my variables to the same as the qt3 libraries? As it looks in /usr/etc..., it seems I must set prefix to / , and tune all the other paths by hand (i.e. add /usr to all of them)?
