It's pretty disappointing; probably an example of building a .deb "manually". There are no dependencies in the package; instead, draftSight contains all of the libraries needed to run it, separately, all of which get installed into /opt and are likely duplicates of system libs that could have been pulled in via dependencies. Likewise lots of fonts in th package as well, same deal there. Looks like the binary is in /opt/dassault-systemes [note that this looks like a spelling error]/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight $ file DraftSight DraftSight: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=fe7582121b3f3bc91d22a42fa0502b5e8355adaf, not stripped This is confusing; if they're using dynamically linked libraries then they must have done something to get ld to find the libraries in /opt. For 2D drawing I usually use LibreCAD, for 3D I've been playing with FreeCAD. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College Feb 5 - Nginx Mar 5 - March Meeting: 11th Anniversary Apr 2 - Google App Engine
