Not surprising since there are very few packages that link to libss (AFAIK). During my test run, I found that the soname of the library installed by heimdal is libss.so.0 while the one installed by e2fsprogs is libss.so.2. So it seems that lib from e2fsprogs is the better choice if any packages do want to link against the lib. You could rename ss.h and libss.so and libss.a before installing heimdal and then copy them back after installation. Heimdal would be linked against libss.so.0 so it does not matter whether libss.so points to libss.so.0 or libss.so.2. And packages installed further down the line will link against the greater version of the lib. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
