Not true. It is a *myth* that has propogated thru these lists so many times that it *sounds* true. If it were true, gentoo users would need to reinstall their OS every time a toolchain package was updated. As long as you are upgrading the toolchain packages (not downgrading) everything should be ok, especially if they have the same major (and minor version?) as the package that is already installed. The only care that needs to be taken is: If the soname of a library has changed, that library should not be removed until the executables linked to that library are recompiled. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
