Thanks Robert. I think we can drop those environment variables from the qt4 instructions. If they are needed for other packages, then there needs to be instructions to that effect for those specific packages. Also, we don't have any packages in BLFS yet that need qt4. It is interesting to note that ldd finds the correct qt4 libraries for binaries like assistant, designer, qtdemo, etc even though LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set and /etc/ld.so.conf has not been modified. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
