Hi all, Looking for opinions about an issue that I don't really know how significant it may be. I'll throw it out here and let others that are more knowledgeable decide:
The E2fsprogs package in LFS installs a libcom_err.so symlink in the /usr/lib dir which points to a libcom_err.so.2 library in /lib. The MIT Kerberos package from BLFS installs a libcom_err.so symlink in the /usr/lib dir which points to (its) copy of libcom_err.so.3 installed in /lib. So, what this means is that any package (there may be none for all I know) that links to /usr/lib/libcom_err.so thinking that it is linking to a library from the E2fsprogs package will actually be linking to the MIT Kerberos version of it. Though the libraries serve the same purpose, I don't know how API compatible they are. FYI, the Heimdal Kerberos package looks for and uses an existing libcom_err library during its installation, so there is no issue with Heimdal. Should anything be mentioned about this on the MIT Kerberos page? -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:41:00 up 115 days, 15:14, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.13 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
