If it needs symbols from libdl, that's not "reasonable". > So where do people think the bug lies? > - Should libdl be compiled into libnewt.a ? No. It should be added to the .la so that applications linking to libnewt.a also get libdl. > - Should the static version of libnewt be built differently so as to > not call dlopen()? That's another option. > - if so, any recommendations on how? You can either link it statically with libfribidi, or remove the feature. > - Is the bug in partimage? The bug is trying to use static linking, which is anyway fundamentally broken on glibc-based systems. -- Josselin Mouette /\./\ pouet pouet « Sans puissance, la maîtrise n'est rien. »
