That's for a fairly wide-ranging definition of 'useful', too... If it turns out to be an issue, I'd rather drop the binary entirely. In fact, if I can swing it, I'd rather just not package this one, since nothing else uses it (that I know of... someone may have decided to inline the code into their own source tree). However, I won't know that I can drop it for sure until next weekend at the earliest. -- --- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.

I don't see how either is useful on its own. My mistake, I missed that it's a static library. However, the binary in /usr/bin - is it useful on its own or just used to configure something about the library. Kind Regards, Thomas Jollans pgpH6Go464udZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

What would be the benefit of seperating the headers from the static library? I don't see how either is useful on its own. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Shorter .sig for a more eco-friendly paperless office. pgpDoB08zzf39.pgp Description: PGP signature
