Yes and no. ffmpeg builds two different flavors on powerpc, one that is configured with --enable altivec and gets installed into /usr/lib/altivec and another one configured --without-altivec and gets installed to /usr/lib. /lib/ld-linux.so queries the kernel for hardware capabilities and sets the .so search path appropriately. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
