(or better : why are they in /usr/lib/libc5-compat ?) > Currently gcc uses none of these schemes. ??? altgcc is installed in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin, and it works fine, compiling something with prepending this path. missing : a timeline for all libraries to be compiled. and one more question: current libc5 program require libxxx. the new "libxxx" package will provide these lib, but as libc6 binary. will the program still work ? (some people will not install the -libc5, because there is no dependency to use it). regards, andreas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
