I'm running x86_64 fc3. All the 64bit apps put the pkgconfig files in /usr/lib64. When I'm building a program I often forget to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig.
Now I did put it in rc.local. That didn't work. Given that I and others use a lot of user names, is there someplace to change PKG_CONFIG_PATH universally? Where is it set to /usr/lib/pkgconfig in the first place?
thanks sean

For all system-wide changes of that kind you are adding your own file(s) in /etc/profile.d/. Look for examples there. Likely you should start names with something like 'z_...' to make sure that they will be loaded last.
Don't forget 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH'.
For your own use you have a bunch of "dot-files" in your $HOME. See 'Bash Startup Files' in 'info bash' (and similar for shells from csh family).

It always was; but what this has to do with fedora-test?
