Actually, the output of ldd is quite meaningless for determining if Firefox is using it directly. For example, if you compile GTK+ wit libpng, the output of a GTK+ binary will have libpng included. Then, if you use the system GTK+ during compilation of Firefox, the ldd output of the Firefox binary will also have libpng included, even if you used an internal version of libpng that ships with Firefox (not sure if it does, this is simply an example). So, bottom line, ldd should never be used to determine if a library was linked in directly to some binary. It *can* be used, but it is a very unreliable method of determining what was linked in during compilation. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
