Mmm, Xavier told me that ld.conf was built using /etc/ld.conf as example, so it is more a configuration file. Also it makes sense to let users modify them by hand, imagine people adding a homebuilt library or something such, without any knowledge of how debian works. That said, we could imagine handling 2 such databases ? Friendly, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
