AS some of the programs I need , and have to compile, are looking for their libs in /usr/lib , where as the gnome libs are in /opt/gnome/lib. Is it possible to use a symlink with wildcard to point from /usr/lib to/opt/gnome/lib for anything starting with libgn ?? Trying to get gpredict to build.
A symlink can't point to more than one destination, but you can of course create a number of symlinks easily: cd /usr/lib for i in /opt/gnome/lib/libgn*.so; do ln -s $i .; done Also, you might just try adding /opt/gnome/lib to the file /etc/ld.so.conf OR to your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH evironment variable. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
