Hi Paul, Thanks for your interest on this lfs-builder :). The actual installwatch.so library file can be found in the installwatch package from the following website: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/installwatch.html Technically, as you can see in the lfs-builder package, the 'escript' directory is the key of this lfs-builder project. Escript was written far before I had the idea of implementing this lfs-builder. So, escript is actually a separate implementation. You can found more technical information regarding escript in escript/README and escript/INSTALL. The reference to lib/escript/installwatch.so was there because I plainly copied the whole 'escript' directory to the lfs-builder directory. However, I'm currently working on the lfs-builder that uses the installwatch features. With these features, lfs-builder can uninstall, archive installed packages, reinstall, and many things that can make lfs-builder be a package manager for LFS :). Hope this will answer your queries. Thanks again for having the time to read the hint I submitted (although it is not posted). Regards, Ario I like Salmonfish .
