Agreed in that it *works*. However, see below. > As for FHS compliance, it's probably not. But neither is Qt. The one-directory install of Qt (in /opt/qtX.XX for BLFS) is compliant with the FHS (other than we don't use /etc/opt/qt). And I thought the previous /usr install was also FHS compliant (noted the problems you describe with $QTDIR). I suppose what I'd like to see is a method that the TrollTech folks recommend, and is compliant with the FHS. Isn't the /opt method compliant with those two stipulations? Regardless, I realize folks want stuff in /usr. But shouldn't the book mention that the /usr method does not conform with the FHS, but we provide these instructions as a courtesy? -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
