These files are site specific configuration files, but they should not be edited. They are used by the configure scripts of the ports which depend on them, to find libs and correct flags. They are like (and used by) the *-config files. However, they are not executables, so the choice is etc/ or share/gnome. Since some of the ports install into ${LOCALBASE} before there is a /share/gnome (ORBit, libghttp, libxml) the only real choice is etc/. libdata/ maybe another choice. -Jeremy -- | ------------------------------------------------------ --+-- "Maybe tomorrow will be better than today, | or maybe it will not come at all..." - Pam Thum | ------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
