If you follow instructions in dietlibc README, you get a small "diet" binary that is installed in /usr/local/bin/, 5268 bytes on my box. When that "diet" program is run, it uses additional files from the place where dietlibc sources were compiled on, /usr/local/src/dietlibc-0.30/ in your case. Dietlibc compiled programs are statically linked. > When I type in > "make install bin-i386/diet /usr/local/bin", > ^^^^^ That is not what dietlibc README says. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
