Thanks a lot, I had never seen the porthier or the hier man pages (thanks jk for your private email). Very much appreciated as I now have even more appreciation for MacPorts and the layout of the land! Cheers, T.M. On 8/16/07, N_Ox <n.oxyde@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,
I noticed that a relatively small number of MacPorts (but some of them being quite important such as slapd for OpenLDAP and mysqld) install binary executables into the {prefix}/libexec directory compared to the much more often used and larger {prefix}/bin directory.
I'm curious what is the logic for having two separate directories one named "libexec" and the other named "bin"?
Thank you,
-T.M.
