Okay, the only question left then is the actual creation of the symlink. Mozilla could have already been installed (and a copy of NSS/NSPR already existed in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.x.x) and a nss-mozilla.pc file already exists. The question is: should we use 'ln -sf ...' syntax, or not overwrite the existing nss-mozilla.pc file by using 'ln -s' syntax? I prefer to use the ln -sf and overwrite the existing file. That way, the most current NSS/NSPR libraries are used if the nss-mozilla pkgconfig file is referenced, and the libraries exist in /usr/lib where they are in the linker's cache. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.35] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 06:10:36 up 16 days, 19:17, 10 users, load average: 0.11, 0.12, 0.12 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
