They're not always redundant. They're needed in directories that aren't in ld.so.conf (eg, /usr/lib/evolution/1.4) or else libtool won't add in -R flags when linking against them. But since those .la files may reference other .la files, that means that you need to have the same .la files in /usr/lib as the system your evolution-devel package was built on (which is why I thought his problem might have been xd2 vs xd-unstable). (I'm not sure they're really painful any more either. The "-lm -lm -lm -lm ..." bug that made people first start deleting them has been fixed for a few releases now.) -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
