Bruce, Yeah, my post really didn't have anything to do with LFS per say. The article is a broader commentary about the way things are done in Unix. He even comments on /etc/ld.so.conf: : Half-hearted attempts to improve things : : Some OS's (For example, Linux) have a configurable loader. You can : configure what run-time paths to look in by modifying /etc/ld.so.conf. : This is almost as bad a LD_LIBRARY_PATH! Install scripts should never : modify this file! This file should contain only the standard library : locations as shipped with the OS. He wants the linking framework itself to be changed to allow for more customization at the individual application level. Anyway, that site sure has a lot of interesting articles: http://xahlee.info/comp/comp_index.html There's a little bit of everything in there.
