/usr/lib is included by default by ldconfig and does not need to be
included in ld.so.conf (see "man ldconfig"). You do need to add
/usr/local/lib if you need it though (or add it in a .conf file in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d).
No PKG_CONFIG_PATH is normally needed because packages that support
pkgconfig drop a file into /usr/lib/pkgconfig, which pkgconfig picks up
automatically.
P.S. Please don't post HTML to this mailing list.
