I haven't seen any problems. /etc/ld.so.conf has the symlinks, e.g. /opt/qt/lib, /opt/kde/lib, /opt/xorg/lib. I haven't run into any problems. It's possible that I might need to rerun ldconfig after changing the symlinks in the future, but I don't recall needing to do that. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
