Typically, "system" and "packaged" libraries go in /usr/lib, and "user installed" libraries go in /usr/local/lib or /opt/lib. Certainly, though, Oracle knows this and has designed their package to put things in the proper spot. How *is* the Oracle library packaged? In a tarball (a .tar file)? A .bin file? - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE64XgS9HxQb37XmcRAsIwAJwOiabnDZ4S5UnopESkwLSJIy0hfQCeI2Mk EIFqmIsN3XA+BOIHTVjYD7w= =JK/1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
