yes. I've already written this, AND I've already written why. Because that is the "normal" way that programs install things, when you compile with configure --prefix=/opt/csw/prefix That is the "normal" location ,therefore that should be the "real" location. This is consistent with standard behaviour. For example, /usr/openwin/lib. that is/was the "real" location of the libX11 libraries, but for convenience, symlinks were made from other locations pointing to there. We are in the same situation. We basically want a reference in /opt/csw/lib, for convenience. Plus the issue about keeping "du -k" output consistent within the program files for a prefix. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
