Actually .so files are used any time a dynamically linked executable needs them, not just when 'compiling'. But I think you know that. Actually, I think we may have several unnecessary files in /lib. I'm not sure why libhistory, libnss*, libpcre, and several others are there. I realize some of these are BLFS libraries. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
