I guess the reasons that these particular RPMs are "system libraries" are: * they use the same package names as the normal APR packages for RHEL/Fedora-based systems * (unless some special effort is made) they install to the same location as the nomral APR packages With a different package name and prefix (not unheard of with APR) they are not system libraries. > > Regards, > Graham > -- > > -- Born in Roswell... married an alien... http://emptyhammock.com/
