It's an opinion based on years of developing software on a variety of operating systems. I don't live in a one-OS world as you seem to do. I routinely look at how things work on other systems, and I know what works and I know what doesn't work. And after five years of developing on Linux I've seen this same problem over and over and over again -- the ld.so.cache causes more problems than it solves. > Everything should be if egcs 1.1.1 is used on Linux. Everything should be what??? Everything should be okay? Should we all hop in our time machines and jump forward to a point in time to when this is a fact, instead of just wishful thinking. In the mean time there are real people with real machines running what's out there today -- and it ain't egcs-1.1.1. Clicking your ruby shoes and saying "everything will be fine with egcs" isn't doing much to help those people NOW! (Telling people they should recompile XFree86 from source is hardly a viable solution either.) Perhaps you'd care to elaborate on how a different compiler will change link and ld.so semantics? > I can help if there is any problem. > > > > > What would it take to get the boneheads who do the linux distributions > > to take /usr/X11R6/lib out of their ldconfig?
