Those people want things done for them - many of them think that C is "just another letter", and their brows furrow in confusion when you mention the dynamic linker, static libraries, Makefiles, even SysV init scripts. Linux should be an open system - ie, open to everyone who wants to get away from Microsoft. For people like you who want to 'roll your own', you can do so. For people who want an integrated 'plug it in, turn it on, and start using it' Linux system, then they should go get TurboLinux or Debian or Redhat or one of the other distributions. BTW, I like your suggestion of library-(null), library-devel, library-static. it'll take me a while to implement that, though, unless you want to help, Chris :) -------------------------------------------------- Scott M.
