At least not where someone would find it easily. Josh needs to install the compat20 dist to get that lib. A few packages were mistakenly linked against the libgcc library, and unfortunately one of them was emacs, which most everyone (?) installs right away. (BTW, XEmacs was also linked against the libgcc lib, *and* the Motif lib! And about every other X utility was linked against newer X libs from 2.2, and so you get warnings every time you run one of them that you're using outdated libs. Dare I say that 2.1.5 was rushed?) The only people who will have problems with the missing lib are those who installed a clean system from the 2.1.5 CDROM. If they did an update install, then the lib is already there, naturally, from the 2.1 or 2.0 system. keith.
