Hello Chuck,

wanted to be complete, it really needed about twenty different libraries,
but libdl.so will serve as an example well enough). It had been installed
in some subdir of /usr/local/lib.
Are you sure that you didn't use some non-default paths to install a
linux_base port? I'm asking the question because:
-----
% locate libdl.so
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2
% pkg_info -W /compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2
/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2 was installed by package linux_base-fc-4_10

I'm a little behind in answering my mail, I hope I didn't keep you waiting
too long. Yeah, you're right, you had it right. If and when I finally get
ports-management to comment on my thesis, and IF they finally agree with
me, I guess I'm going to be forced to completely zero out my entire system
(damn, what a PITA) and get things fixed right from the beginning. Back
some years back, when I was very active in ports last, I had to maintain my
system in an extremely "clean" status, because otherwise, one can never
really guarantee that what builds fine one your system won't break on
everyone else's.
Anyhow, I said I made no effort to record what I did, and if in this case
I misremembered, please don't take it as an insult to your work, which does
look like you did a fine job of it. This, at least, is one port that DOES
do things as I would have them.
_All_ pure infrastructure ports install into LINUXBASE. This is not a
"nice to have"-style requirement, it is a _hard_ requirement. Anyone
violating this gets a slap on the hand from me as sonn as I discover
it. So in case you talk about ports which only install libs and they
are not in LINUXBASE, I would say your system is fucked up and you
should install from scratch to have a good basis for discussion. So
far you just point fingers in a generic direction without giving hard
facts. A lot of this finger pointing is for libs, as far as I
understand your posts. So please, install a clean system and tell us
about concrete port names. Hard facts are a good base to talk about,
the "oh, I don't remember what I did but my current setup is not
satisfying" is leading nowhere.
The only way I'm going to get things to be for certain, it's to start over
from the beginning, and this time follow the procedures that any serious
porter (such as you) already knows by heart. I'm not going to try to
repeat all that here.
I reply to your other mail later when I have more time. It is big and
I have to write some things there.
Bye,
Alexander.
