Well, it sort of is a rule. I'd have to check the Editor's Guide to see if it is an "unwritten" rule, but I know Bruce is somewhat adamant about it (I don't mean that badly, Bruce, as I tend to agree with you). What we do, Dan, is right below the required deps, simply make a paragraph saying something like: Though it is not a build requirement, the abc package must be able to locate the xyz package at run-time. If you have not installed xyz, you should do so before running abc. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.27] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 09:04:01 up 40 days, 1:04, 1 user, load average: 0.69, 0.24, 0.13 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
