We do this for lot of packages, but we never had time to finish it for every single one. You'll notice when you run a ldd on a non-executable library that you'll get a warning about a library not executable. Also, libtool by default installs libraries as 755 so I guess it has been some sort of standard. Nothing will happen to library if or if it's not executable though. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
