Hi Bob!

You seem to be a victim of a package install where every package has used its own unique installation prefix. It seems to me that most systems use just one or two installation prefixes.
Absolutely.
But the point is that pkg-config is supposed to help with parallel installs, and it most certainly does not!
The system I use (Solaris based) uses three. There is one for the software that comes with the base system (under /usr)), one for "freeware" (under /usr/sfw), and one created by myself for locally installed packages (under /usr/local).
The Gentoo Linux system I use has only two pkgconfig files.
pkgconfig directories, right?
Libtool helps, but its resulting configuration (saved in .la files) is static, while pkgconfig's configuration is dynamic since it may be altered by the user.
You mean that the installed .pc files need to be altered by the user to give things a hope of linking? ;-)
But seriously, why would you install a .pc using library, and then alter the installed .pc file?
Cheers,
Gary.
