[petsc-users] pkg-config

hi

I am experimenting with using pkg-config to help build my code, and 
using the PETSc.pc file in $PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/lib/pkgconfig.

At present it is not working, because the PETSc.pc file sets Libs: 
-L${libdir} -lpetsc

where libdir=${prefix}/lib, and (in my case at least) prefix is equal to 
$PETSC_DIR.

But the PETSc library is not in $PETSC_DIR/lib, it is in 
$PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/lib.

Have I messed something up in my PETSc config so that the PETSc.pc file 
is not quite right?
