Andy, I've make a change to the book to change the explanation of the reason for the chmod command to: "Enable the execute bit to prevent a warning when using ldd to check library dependencies." This is a more accurate explanation and will allow users to make a judgement whether or not they want to use the chmod instruction. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
