That didn't work. For all system-wide changes of that kind you are adding your own file(s) in /etc/profile.d/. Look for examples there. Likely you should start names with something like 'z_...' to make sure that they will be loaded last. Don't forget 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH'. For your own use you have a bunch of "dot-files" in your $HOME. See 'Bash Startup Files' in 'info bash' (and similar for shells from csh family). > Given that I and others use > a lot of user names, is there someplace to change PKG_CONFIG_PATH > universally? It always was; but what this has to do with fedora-test? Michal
