That's a good suggestion, but there is one minor problem remaining. |

Although I rely on portage to do all the "heavy lifting" for me, there |
| 13 |
is a small number of packages that I, for various reasons, still want |
| 14 |
to install myself -- and I'm sure there are lots of others that do this |
| 15 |
as well. These self-installed packages will often insert .la files into |
| 16 |
the tree, and, in fact, I believe that this kind of condition had caused |
| 17 |
my original ".la file not found" problem. |

So the .la issue is definitely something for everyone to keep in mind, |
| 20 |
and especially for those who may self-install an occasional extra package. |
