I don't really think it has. As I've understood it, the convention is that libraries that are installed from the distribution go in /usr/lib, and libraries that are installed from source or from external archives of binary packages should go in /usr/local/lib/. The FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALHIERARCHY) while a little vague on a few points[1], seems to support my understanding. [1] Since they aren't defined in the spec, there may be some disagreement about what "locally installed" or "software" means. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
