This is hardly ever going to be a problem except for someone who is trying to keep up with individual patches. For everyone else, the version number will change between installs. } The only proper workaround is to recompile zsh with different LD_RUN_PATH } value. Or use libtool - I guess, it is quite usable now. I've had nothing but trouble with it the last several times I tried to use it. Not because of any particular flaw in its function, but because it now depends on the availability of various compatibility libraries, which I've been unable to compile because they in turn depend on the very latest gcc/glibc, or for various other reasons. IMO using libtool would have the opposite of the intended effect -- it would restrict the number of platforms on which zsh can easily be compiled. However, I'm prepared to be convinced otherwise. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
