/lib and /usr/lib
 

Maybe this is slighty above Newbie, not sure. The two subject directories, from what I understand, contain c and c++ libraries needed for dynamically linked apps. So....would a linux system need anything in those directories if every app on the system was compiled statically?

TIA - Joe

Yes, SO files (static libraries). This is, btw, more a question for the programming forum here at LQ.

Welcome to LQ Joe.

If the forum moderator feels that the post is in the wrong forum it will be moved. There is no need to create duplicate posts.

I closed the original since the forum for the dupe is more
sensible and crabboy had already suggested to carry on the
discussion in programming :} ....


Cheers,
