carcharias linux # ldd /sbin/lvm linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libdevmapper.so.1.00 => /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.00 (0xb7fc3000) libreadline.so.4 => /lib/libreadline.so.4 (0xb7f9e000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f9a000) libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb7f5b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e2b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fea000) I don't use a separate /usr partition, so there is no reason for Gentoo to have prefered /lib to /usr/lib for these libraries. So I am pretty sure this is the normal location for them. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
