Then the circumstances were different, but I can assure that's not new, I've had to use it in plenty of cases for a very long time. The only possible way of avoiding it is installing to known locations. > We would only do that in our run-time environment when running our > software executables.

It doesn't. autoconf does, to find the pkgconfig files to then supply the flags to the g++ commands to use. But they most definitely *cannot* avoid the need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The linker might be fine with it, but the exec/run tests won't. > Would the "--with-pkgconfigdir" help? It's required if the pkgconfig files aren't in known places. -- Scott
