I've had to accept that I'm not any good at most of this stuff, even estimating (4 expletive-deleted months to look at fonts, allowing an extra month for various texlive and firefox stuff, when I assumed I'd get it done in 2 - and I still haven't posted my suggestions for changes) so, as an alternative, maybe somebody who understands this [ Hi Chris, Hi DJ ] could produce a hint on removing /lib64 ? Years ago, I used to run pure64 CLFS on x86_64 - and it was clean, but in those days one or two source programs needed attention. I really miss that cleanliness, and I suspect that a lot of the libtool "appears to be moved" messages are related to this - but then I haven't built 32-bit for perhaps a year, so maybe I'm mistaken about that message. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
