Not really compat2x, but also a compat problem: we used to ship a libcompat.so up until 2.0.5. Installing it into /usr/lib from a compatxx distribution however results in it being linked into new binaries. Instead, i usually pick /usr/junklib for it, and ldconfig this directory, too. Perhaps the hooks for this should go into the base system, so a compatxx distribution can easily make use of it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
