pixmap dirs

[Ionutz Borcoman <borco@borco-ei.eng.hokudai.ac.jp>]

Hi,

My program uses some pixmaps for a couple of buttons.

I have understood from this list how I can get an absolute path to the
pixmap _after_ the package is installed. However, this will make my
program not work _before_ it is installed.

Is there any simple way to tell my program where these files are stored
? This is important as the pixmaps have to be loaded now and then,
sometimes after changing the working directory. First time I run the
program (before changing the dir), things are ok, but after some time I
get errors :-(

So I would appreciate very much any idea on how can I specify this path
to my pixmap.

In the present the package is like this:

plasmasim (top dir) 
	src (source dir)
		xpm (dir with pixmaps)

In the end I want to install the pixmaps in:

/usr/local/share/plasmasim

(or where user want by changing the pkgdatadir variable).

TIA,

Ionutz
