Description Alberto Garcia 2014-06-18 12:13:32 UTC 
Some distributions are using separate libdirs per architecture, e.g.

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

However, .typelib files must not go in one of those and should go to /usr/lib instead.

I think the best approach is to use pkg-config for that. The 
gobject-introspection-1.0 pkg-config file already provides the variables girdir and typelibdir.
