You make excellent and very valid points here. And the only way anything should really be affected is if they link to the libss library, expecting to find a specific version (though I'm not sure that *anything* actually links to libss) and bombs because there are incompatibilities. I will be rebuilding one of my local network machines here soon, and will do as you recommend. I've left the bug open for now, but as soon as I can determine that putting the E2fsprogs version of libss and its interface header back the way it was, and having Heimdal's version renamed to something else, and all works well, I will update the book and close the bug. Thanks for the help, Tush. BTW - I've updated the book so that the interface headers installed by Heimdal that overwrite Glibc headers is fixed. The libss header and library (symlink,static lib} from the E2fsprogs package is the only outstanding issue at this point. Right now, the E2fsprogs stuff is renamed and preserved. -- 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] 23:51:00 up 153 days, 23:24, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
