As Dan mentioned, sshd is installed in --libexecdir. If I remember, openldap also falls in the same category. Anyways, my point in providing the examples was that we cannot have a blanket statement that says --libexecdir should *always* be $prefix/lib/$packageName, it will have to be evaluated on a case by case basis. If you go thru the books, you will find more packages that fall in one of the three cases: (1) --libexecdir=$prefix/sbin (2) --libexecdir=$prefix/lib (3) --libexecdir=/usr/lib/$package -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
