Exactly. Some times headers are not installed if the destination file exists. I think I saw this in glibc, ncurses, and gdbm. Same thing for some symlinks. After a while it got too tiresome to keep double checking the log trying to weed out the false postives and accounting for false negatives. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
