Alright, I've worked out how to make this happen and so that's what I'll do. We'll create the symlink in the proto area as we do now but we won't deliver it to the system. While I'm at it, do we need to deliver the lint libraries to the system? The manifest currently includes them: file path=usr/lib/llib-lbe file path=usr/lib/llib-lbe.ln Thanks Dave, Glenn _______________________________________________ caiman-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
