I don't think either Mandrake or Debian build with LFS enabled in the 2.0 packages. It *completely* changes the binary module interface in 2.0; it wasn't such a big deal in 1.3. (in fact, building 2.0 for LFS doesn't work until 2.0.49; we had that bug reported upstream from someone using the SuSE packages who found that they were subtly broken) Regards, joe
