Hi Brad: Thanks for looking into it.
I have already updated the spec file, so that libmodexample* will be included with ganglia-gmond package. Let's hope someone could help us fix this :-) Cheers, Bernard On 4/6/07, Brad Nicholes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I guess you could delete them in the %install section of the .spec file so that they aren't part of the package, but it would be nice if we could instruct libtool to just not build them or at least not install them during the 'make install'. Unless somebody knows how to do this, I guess for now the static libraries will just exist even though they aren't useful. Brad
