> In any case that should work, shouldn't it ? ;) No, it should not. The binary compatibility is not 100% right now and, even if it was, when you compile it it *DOES NOT* replace the original libnet so ping route and others will use the original libnet. Also I guess route would no work even if it loaded the OpenBeOS libnet. Not to mention people running BONE. In this case libnet is not used by the net apps. > btw they both use libnet/libanything ? libnet.
