This is not a =20 "nice to have"-style requirement, it is a _hard_ requirement. Anyone =20 violating this gets a slap on the hand from me as sonn as I discover =20 it. So in case you talk about ports which only install libs and they =20 are not in LINUXBASE, I would say your system is fucked up and you =20 should install from scratch to have a good basis for discussion. So =20 far you just point fingers in a generic direction without giving hard =20 facts. A lot of this finger pointing is for libs, as far as I =20 understand your posts. So please, install a clean system and tell us =20 about concrete port names. Hard facts are a good base to talk about, =20 the "oh, I don't remember what I did but my current setup is not =20 satisfying" is leading nowhere. > The only way I'm going to get things to be for certain, it's to start over > from the beginning, and this time follow the procedures that any serious > porter (such as you) already knows by heart.
