I don't care what standard you follow, having applications install includes and libraries in system directories leads to competing and/or incompatible versions and application breakage. Not to mention the ability to build a totally non-portable application because you didn't know that the code used a non-Linux feature. With a bit of effort you can put this in a non-conflicting place, such as /opt/shilly/* directories, and not have this problem. This is not "in theory" as I have another application which uses an align.h file (not the same one!). -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
