Well, if it were me, I would simply put in parenthesis (run-time dependency only) after the "which" dependency and leave it right where it's at. There really is no "cut and dried" method of doing it, however, because which *is* required to run the program, I feel keeping it up front where it is sure to be seen (identifying it as run-time only) is proper. > I'm also wondering about the sharedir.

This has come up before and it was determined to leave it where it's at, as packages look for it in /usr/share. -- 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] 11:13:00 up 34 days, 19:37, 2 users, load average: 1.38, 1.21, 0.72 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
