I would not do that, but look it is needed. We have to provide our own libtool (dude/LIBTOOL) due ltdl.h and libltdl.so. We can use source from CBE. I'll do it, later today. It will be only for S10, on Nevada boxes we can use SUNWltdl or something like that :) >> Anyway, if you are absolutely sure you have libX11.so.6 (you don't, except >> possibly on new nv builds) then the app can stay in, but I for one would like >> kstartperf to be simply removed.
