Hello,

First of all, I would like to thanks you for your work on Eric ;-)

I am one of the packager of Eric for Fedora and I'm trying to package eric-4.2.0 for Fedora 9 but I have a little problem...

pyqtconfig._pkg_config["qt_data_dir"], wich is used into install.py returns '/usr/lib/' on 32bits systems and '/usr/lib64/' on 64bits systems. 
Previously, it always returned '/usr/share', which is arch independant ; but this is no longer the case. 

As this is not an Eric issue, I've reported a bug against it on the Fedora's bz (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456761).

As you can read in this bug report, one solution would be to install eric API files into /usr/share (I'll have to patch install.py, but this is not really a problem). My problem is that Eric will have to look into both /usr/share and /usr/{lib|lib64} for its API files ; and I really don't know how to achieve this.

Could you give me a hint ? 

Best regards,
Johan
