RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: json-c-0.11-12.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The pkg-config (.pc) files for JSON-C were incorrectly placed in the /lib64/pkgconfig/ directory in the 64-bit packages and in the /lib/pkgconfig/ directory in the 32-bit packages. Consequently, the pkg-config tool was unable to find these files and failed to provide the location of the installed JSON-C libraries, header files, and other information about JSON-C. With this update, the pkg-config files have been moved to the /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ and /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ directory respectively. As a result, the pkg-config tool now successfully returns information about the installed JSON-C packages.

Description Alejandro Alvarez 2014-10-30 11:16:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

pkgconfig files land in /lib64/pkgconfig instead of /usr/lib64/pkgconfig

/lib64/libjson-c.so
/lib64/libjson.so
/lib64/pkgconfig/json-c.pc
/lib64/pkgconfig/json.pc
/usr/include/json
/usr/include/json-c
/usr/include/json/arraylist.h

Ping?
Comment 3 Tomas Heinrich 2015-01-05 15:31:47 UTC 
Sorry for the wait.

You're right that the location is wrong and needs to be fixed.
It'll happen with the next update - can't say when that will be though.

Comment 6 Jakub Filak 2015-02-25 15:16:42 UTC 
According to FHS /lib is for libraries essential for the binaries in /bin/ and /sbin/, therefore *-devel packages must not install anything to /lib.

Test case from bug #1193792:
# yum install json-c-devel
$ pkg-config --exists json-c && echo "Yes" || echo "No"
Comment 10 Ondřej Pták 2015-04-13 07:56:24 UTC 
json-c-devel-0.11-11.el6.x86_64
===============================
# rpm -ql json-c-devel | grep \.pc
/lib64/pkgconfig/json-c.pc
/lib64/pkgconfig/json.pc

# pkg-config --libs json-c
Package json-c was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `json-c.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'json-c' found


json-c-devel-0.11-12.el6.x86_64
===============================

# rpm -ql json-c-devel | grep \.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/json-c.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/json.pc

# pkg-config --libs json-c
-L/lib64 -ljson-c
