I think you shouldn't rely on existing packages that don't seem normal by fink standards and that have a ton of shims as an example of best-practice or even good/clever-idea inspiration:) Freetype219 *was* buried because we *had* had to contend with multiple libfreetype that all had the same libname, so we had to bury it in a package-specific way. It's pretty obvious from all of fink that /sw/lib/%n is in no way standard or blessed for normal packaging situations (nor does it align with the documented "wrong arch" layout for -64bit on i386). So *if* you're going to bury in a *pakcage*-specific subdir, you'd put *that* in /sw/lib32/freetype219 or whatever the standard archlibdir is. dan -- Daniel Macks [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
