Well, not "anyone". I never had any problems with it. (YMMV, but soon enough, I switched to an installmask with an exception for libtool, then rebuilt the system. No *.la file worries since! =:^) (Observation: Unqualified any/all statements are rather like greedy .* regex handling, sometimes they include more than one might intend!) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
