So here I was, half asleep, removing some old directories as root, and here's what I did...sitting in /home/jimmie after su jimmie@jimmiejaz <101> [0] /home/jimmie#rm -rf cd /usr/local/lib (note the space, the PWD is home/jimmie/) Now, a lot of libs went missing from /usr/local/lib. With libchk, last locatedb I've been able to reinstall most of the libs. My ~/ *seems* unaffected, but I'm worried about that, I don't notice anything missing, but I could be wrong. What I'm thinking is the rm -rf found no 'cd' and moved to wipe out /usr/local/lib Would this be a correct assumption? And yes, I sat in the stupid corner with the dunce hat on. -- Over the years I've come to regard you as people I've met. I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other, and when I am alone I am togethe
