Re: glib installation

[abhi rocks <badsep11 yahoo com>]

hey

Just wanted to say that i installed my glib2.6.4 using

./configure --prefix=/usr . So the pc file is
installed in the /usr/lib/pkgconfig folder. So am i to
still do what u have said.

Another thing if i do move them then should i change
the prefix variable of the pc files from /usr/local to
/usr.

Thank You
Abhishek Samuel
