Thank you, package (pkg_add), wouldn't you get error when run apps for can't find to link foobar.so.5 when you have foobar.so.4? I don't use package, but wouldn't package (without library version in Makefile) failed to check for need foobar.so.5 and go ahead install it because there was no library version info? With the library version would check and give the error earlier. Cheers, Mezz > -mi -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
