The best solution that I can come up with is fix the things in my other email I just sent to the list and also change the documentation dir default and config dir default to something saner. ;) Hint /usr/share/config is a FHS violation... Otherwise have kde-config provide all paths that are used so that the configure scripts can find the right location. Actually doing both of the above might be a good idea. Chris FHS 2.1 4. The /usr Hierarchy /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various hosts running FHS-compliant and should not be written to. **Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere.**
