Thank You ĸen That was a very a informative email, thank you for taking the time to spell out the background and reasoning behind it all. I got from that its not statically linked - as much as "bundles" of multiple projects being harder to effectively maintain. Well, I've never been more in tune with compiling linux source thanks to the LFS book. (In Chapter 7 finally - hehe) Point is, I'll probably take another stab at it later on as I'm sure I can tinker, and either succeed or return to my "fallback" (use the bundled zlib again) if necessary. I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season! --Jason -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
