I read the logs, but it doesn't always help. This one apparently used to build statically, and is now using shared libraries. Here's the message: ======================================================= *Subject:* [portage] ebuild log for sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.73 on treat.kosmanor.com
LOG: setup Warning, we no longer overwrite /sbin/lvm and /sbin/dmsetup with their static versions. If you need the static binaries, you must append .static the filename! ======================================================= ** It's not clear to me that I would need this package when dynamically loading is inactive, partly because I don't think that happens -- /usr/lib is not on a separate partition, so it's always there. Leaving that aside, the message does not state *which* filename to append ".static" to, and where to change it, so I'm baffled as to how to take action on this message, even if I thought it important to do. Anyone have a clue? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
