Understand that my copy of the ITT book is a #5, pretty jurrasic these days. Gawd I wish we were back in the 60's thru the late 80's when the Mcgraw-Hill magazine "Electronics" was *the one* you'd cheerfully kill to get a subscription to. The meat in the articles that magazine published was downright fattening. Then they had a change in management fired all their good writers and went straight into the toilet, all in about 2 years. Sad, and I'm not sure if the electronics business was able to maintain its innovation speed without it. I think the internet had to become universal before things got back to normal. >handsome greg >http://www.lipstick-killers.com > >On Apr 2, 2005 9:12 PM, Gene Heskett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Saturday 02 April 2005 20:25, Stuart Brorson wrote: >> >sys_lib_search_path_spec >> >> This was enough of a clue that I was able to see that it >> was using the .la file in /usr/local/lib, which did indeed >> point it at the defunct directory.
