The dbus bindings were split out into separate packages for 1.0. They should hopefully be in the blfs book soon. It'd highly suggest the dbus-glib bindings as a lot of packages use them. http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/ > Do you by chance know, if I can download a recent kernel and use the > provided kernel-headers, even if I installed kernel headers according to > the lfs-6.2 instructions?

The kernel interfaces it knows about are the ones you told it about with linux-libc-headers when you built it. If you change them now, you'll be advertising new interfaces that glibc may not actually know about. This can cause problems. If you know what you're doing, you can replace the headers and rebuild glibc against them. Be aware that reinstalling glibc can definitely break your system (i.e. totally unusable) if it's not done right. I'd suggest just sticking with what you have and using HAL from BLFS-6.2. It sucks to not have the latest and greatest all the time, but the upgrading battle might be more trouble than you're looking for. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
