Description joe 1999-10-02 10:30:00 UTC 
	Going through the include/Makefile some include files get
	installed with an 'ln -sf' and some with an 'ln -s'.  In
	particular the i386/include files aren't forced. This means
	if there's a local copy of a header file  we'll never
	overwrite it, leading to potential problems.  In my case
	the problem was caused by a stray i4b_X.h header file that
	had got there from a manual install.

Fix: Any reason why we can't apply this patch?

Are you sure this is necessary, given the ``rm -rf''?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Probably not - it was a late late late night.  Let me check :)

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Files are ``rm -rf''d first. Not a problem. :-)
