It should of been an option. Just because Solaris sucks when it comes to shared libraries (#4 on my why-I-hate-Solaris list) doesn't mean everything should kludge on Linux. I think 1.4b or something should be ok. There is a very long and very sad thread on BTS and another list debian-devel? about this thing. -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
