We can get rid /usr/libexec per system basis - change default in econf --libexecdir=3D/usr/lib or use GNU-FHS module for autoconf based configure scripts Users are encouraged to add subdirectories in /usr/lib, for example: ./configure --libexecdir=3D/usr/lib/gnome-applets2 (or similar) for GNOME2 applet packages. Redirection to /usr/sbin will occur only for inetd network services (where /usr/lib is not nice) and similar thinks. GNU-FHS adds --with-libexec-sbin There were a long discussion on fhs-discuss about is 3 years ago.

That includes /usr/X11R6/share /usr/X11R6/share has never been part of XFree86. --=20 Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
