The issue here is not _what_ certain directories contain, but _how_ the contents of those directories are maintained, and the FHS has nothing to say about that. In most distributions, /usr/lib will be one of the directories maintained by the system's software packaging mechanism (zypper, rug, dpkg, or whatever). You would be well advised not to put files willy-nilly into it. I can expand on this if anyone who doesn't already know is interested. Whenever someone finds themselves wanting to put a file in a directory like /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /sbin etc., there will almost always be a better way, as indeed this thread has shown. Regards, Peter.

Dear Chris, Bill just beat me to writing the same. I would mention XDS as well.

Re: [ccp4bb] HKL2000 and gcc4 - redux
Agreed, but it's nice to have options, as I'm sure we've all experienced, one program (and sometimes it's HKL2000) just seems to work better than another with some data. But yes, being that this is the CCP4BB, mosflm does indeed rock.
