# Frequently Asked Questions

The paths in the installed pkg-config file are wrong. Why?

  Multiple reasons:

  - This can happen if you install from a Python wheel. Since you can’t pass a prefix to setup.py bdist_wheel you don’t have control over the paths in the .pc file.

  - When installing with pip: pip will sometimes create a wheel and cache it for future installations. In case the next installation is to a different prefix the .pc file contains the paths of the first installation.

  If you can think of any way to improve this, please tell us :)
