People PLEASE drop this topic. It is being addressed -- maybe not as fast as people like, but it is being addressed. I really, REALLY don't understand why all of a sudden this problem is comming up when the compat22 distribution was made a while ago. Also, I install the compat* distributions and forget about them. I've never had ld.so problems. I really don't understand why so many people want to reinstall the compatXX files with every ``make world''. But I guess we do support such functionality, so someone should use it. So are people deleting ld.so before evey ``make world''. I also never make the a.out libs. Remember any a.out libs made with "WANT_AOUT" will be 3.2 libs with the same functional contents as the ELF ones. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
