[ardour-users] PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

[dragon fly]

typing 'set'in the comand line gives out sth about bash
i am using bash, the confusion was the first suggestion about export
the second suggestion, using the "=" sign, does not gives out an error
just nothing really changes running scons after that
thanx,
doc
