Hi. I have an installation problem.

I seem to have a peculiar 'libdir' value in Makefile on my Gentoo
Linux. As a result, my rep-gtk.pc is installed in
/usr/usr/lib64/... Note duplicate '/usr'. Other files are ok. (The
file rep-gtk.pc is the only one which depends on libdir.)

Configure run by Gentoo says:
  prefix:       /usr
  exec_prefix:  ${prefix}
  libdir:       /usr/lib64
  libexecdir:   ${exec_prefix}/libexec

Makefile has the following line:

libdir=/usr/${exec_prefix}/lib

So, because ${exec_prefix} = /usr, it happens.

I don't know autoconf, make, pkgconfig... at all, but I guessed the
cause; rep-gtk's Makefile.in has the definition of libdir:

libdir= prefix@/@libdir@

This libdir line is added 2 months ago, with the following argument:

Maybe the above patch is correct, instead of current @prefix@/@libdir@ ?
