This is prorgam related. To look for files in /usr/share it's better to
write in makefile.am something like:
data_PROGRAMAME=list_of_files
INCLUDES=-DDATADIR=\"$(datadir)\"
And then in program path to look at should be (DATADIR"filename").

There exist function g_getenv (); But does there exist simple and common
way to parse PATH variable?
Thank you for you attention,
