The a.out libraries such as libc and libm can be relocated to something like /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib. However the discussion was about ld.so. Unless I am missing something ld.so must be in /lib. After all isn't it ld.so that searches for libc? -- Paul H. Hargrove All material not otherwise attributed hargrove@sccm.stanford.edu is the opinion of the author or a typo.
