Guy already answered the part about building a shared library. > (I may well be _very_ wrong, and please flame me if I am, > but I just _think_ it would work, and it's easy to find out). My point was that somebody built a package that uses a shared library that we don't even provide. IMO, finding out, what it is, where it came from and why it was used is more important than making a shared version of the libbsd.a provided by libc. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc.
