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"). > To add users possibility to look for files in dirrectories that may be > mentioned in some environment variable (APPNAMEDIR="path1:path2"). There exist function g_getenv (); But does there exist simple and common way to parse PATH variable?
