Re: [gtkmm] seg fault

[ZHOU DX <zhou_dx yahoo com>]

Hi,
I usually add two lines to the bottom of /etc/profile
to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH = "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

If you are not "root", you can put it into your own
profile. I guess you can set others similarly. 

Cheers,
Dan
