Just you. No, just kidding. Don't take it the wrong way. You should know me by know Jeremy. If I ever stopped long enough to think about things and be tactful, I'd never get anything said. Maybe that would be a good thing, though. > Cairo is on the system if you put it there... Am I missing something? I think so. You ain't going to get Firefox installed if you don't have cairo installed (using BLFS instructions, anyway). GTK+ is required by Firefox. GTK+ requires cairo. > My > original statement concerning this was basically just agreement that we > shouldn't just disable it, but look into whether it is useful, > considering that there are many packages using it these days. I am not understanding. It is not being disabled. cairo is disabled by *default*. You have to go out of your way and pass a switch to enable it. At least that is my understanding. I've built Firefox a bunch of times today, and I've looked, and I cannot see where it is using the system installed version *or* the local copy as I'm not passing any special switch to use it. > I'm sorry, I thought that there was more of a summary at the end of this > thread than there is.

If a simple sed can provide added functionality, I can see no reason not to use it. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 18:06:00 up 87 days, 3:30, 3 users, load average: 1.19, 0.86, 0.48 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
