Let me jump in here also and bring up the thread that Jack pointed out. That thread dated from February 2002, three years ago now. It's a little dated in that things have changed since. The *.so files go in /usr/lib only, not in both /lib and /usr/lib. The *.so.* files (add the major versoin number to it) might go in /lib if they are required before /usr is mounted or should be available in case of /usr partition corruption per standard conventions. PAM has /lib/libpam.so files which don't belong in /lib. These are compile-time and link-time libraries only. There's no need for them to be in /lib. The runtime libraries are libpam.so.version (libpam.so.0 in this case) and do belong in /lib. -- Gerard Beekmans /* If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem */ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
