I want to put this KDEDIR setting into /etc/env.d. This may cause people who don't read the above instructions to run configure without parameters, and their app will then install into KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kdelibs-* which is bad. They won't be expecting that because /usr/local is the default, but KDEDIR overrides it in this case. So, this needs to be put somewhere where many people will see it - a FAQ item probably, but most people don't read the FAQs until they have a problem. Suggestions? Where should this go? -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
