Thanks for your reply. I know that's not really a problem (the contents in the lib directory are quite unusable to other programs). I have similiar such packages that all have this lib directory and nix complains about link collisions if I want to install many of them. But these are ignored, it's only a convenience thing… I was just wondering that I might missed an option or something. thanks and regards Eike _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
