The default location for PCSC Lite and device drivers is /usr/local. 
When I install things in /usr/local/pkg (each package in its own
directory) and then use stow to create the symbolic links in the
approrpiate places in /usr/local everything works fine.

If however I compile everything to be installed in /home/share/tools/pkg
and stowed to /home/share/tools then although pcscd starts and
initializes correctly there is no communication from connected USB
readers and so the system does not work.

There are two possibilities:

1.  I have failed to install things correctly.

2.  PCSC Lite has /usr/local hardwired into the code.

I am wondering if anyone else has installed things in a place other than
/usr/local and got things working with USB readers to try and show that
the solution is 1 above.

Alternatively, is it known that pcscd only works out of /usr/local and
that my trying to install in an alternate location is currently doomed
to failure.

Thanks.
