ok i guessed that, but it seems most the i386 folk have this included automatically. I have been in contact with the ggi folk, but was not able to contact the gnome folk, (not subscribed on their list, i did fill a bug report, but got no answer yet...) Is there an idea as starting from which version of glibc they are no more automatically included ? Is there other packages that have this problems ? i guess there are some that the autobuilder FAILS for, is there someone who checks regularly the failures of the autobuilder ? Friendly, Sven LUTHER
