No, but there was some info in my package announcement. I'll upload it as elf-announce. Does anyone want to write up something more substantial? Documentation is not my strong suit and I will also be going out of town soon (convenient eh?). > Anyway, I noticed that neither libc4 or libc5 installed any headers in > /usr/include.

I don't know when anyone will get to libg++. Until then, the elf-libg++ package can still be used by adding -L/usr/i486-linuxelf/lib when you link. > Another problem I had (probably not debian's fault) was with my X > server (accelerated X - I have a Matrox card).

Sort of. I believe libtermcap.so.2 was an initial ELF version of the old BSD-based termcap. It has currently been abandoned, but if you look hard enough on tsx-11.mit.edu under /pub/linux/packages/GCC, you might be able to find it. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc.
