normally find/xargs is not work. turn to use following :

find . -type f -name "*html" -print0

| xargs -0 perl

input method on debian

Set scim as the input method for X under the locale en_US.utf8:

im-switch -z en_US -s scim

This will create a .xinput.d directory under your home directory along with a file that lists all of the exported environment variables necessary for scim upon startup. This file will be read by the 80im-switch script located in /etc/X11/Xsession.d when X starts up.

customize pkg-config location

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/biglaughing/program/lib/pkgconfig

in future , no more worry about customized compile.
