I think it's just a series of scripts, but it works superbly. I tried installing it on FBSD, but it failed to compile, exiting with this error message: > > > > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl > > *** Error code 1 > > > > If I knew what I was doing, I'd surely try to port Libtrash to FBSD.

Done. Get it from http://64.161.78.226/libtrash-fbsd.tgz. It's still pretty unstable (e.g. don't try running Mutt or perl or Emacs with it) but hey, it works. Any other developer want to work on this? NOTE: Since the base system utilities (rm, cp, mv, etc.) are statically linked, libtrash will NOT work with them! You must use a dynamic-linked version, e.g. like so: # gcc -g -o /usr/bin/dynrm /usr/src/bin/rm/rm.c # gcc -g -o /usr/bin/dynmv /usr/src/bin/mv/mv.c # gcc -g -o /usr/bin/dyncp /usr/src/bin/cp/*.c And add these lines to the end of your shell's startup file (~/.profile for sh, ~/.cshrc for csh, ~/.bashrc for bash, ~/.zshrc for zsh): --snip-- alias rm=dynrm alias cp=dyncp alias mv=dynmv --snip-- NOTE #2: I am not maintaining this; I'm just putting it out there so maybe someone else can keep hacking on it.
