I just replied to Alex Leidinger's mail (where he replied to this one)
incorrectly.  I thought it was you, and didn;'t realize until after I'd
kicked off the send key.  Should have realized it from his use of
invective, and how he tried to paint this one error as if _all_ linux ports
installed correctly, and I was only confused.  No big loss, I ppointed out
there a particular example (/usr/ports/www/linux-firefox) that does install
into /usr/local, just didn't appreciate his painting it as if all I said
was wrong, and using the libdl thing as if I was wrong all around the ring.

I haven't sent any of this to emulation.  I dislike crossposting without
some truly major reason, and this thread did begin in ports.  I wonder,
does the fact that your own port installs into /compat mean that you,
yourself, agree with my thesis, that all Linux items belong inmstalled into
the /compat/linux tree?  What is your own opinion of this?
