GnuCash is a great one for private libraries, it has dozens and dozens. Take a look at that source. All these use an rpath and none need to be concerned about /usr/lib, only /usr/lib/gnucash/foo/ Then compare with libqof1 which has public libraries with SONAME and a package name that matches the SONAME etc. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
