I just replied to Alex Leidinger's mail (where he replied to this one) incorrectly. I thought it was you, and didn;'t realize until after I'd kicked off the send key. Should have realized it from his use of invective, and how he tried to paint this one error as if _all_ linux ports installed correctly, and I was only confused. No big loss, I ppointed out there a particular example (/usr/ports/www/linux-firefox) that does install into /usr/local, just didn't appreciate his painting it as if all I said was wrong, and using the libdl thing as if I was wrong all around the ring. I haven't sent any of this to emulation. I dislike crossposting without some truly major reason, and this thread did begin in ports. I wonder, does the fact that your own port installs into /compat mean that you, yourself, agree with my thesis, that all Linux items belong inmstalled into the /compat/linux tree? What is your own opinion of this? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHjQzBz62J6PPcoOkRAiPKAJ49w43EbG50fW//JG99IyYigN52kACeKjXD UEmBdC/47U1M2iVEyGHUb+Y= =whyR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
