Hi Ari, Sure. I found a second copy of ld.exe and a few other utilities in /mingw/mingw32 even after I had upgraded the binutils package. The solution for me was to extract the latest binutils package (binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1.tar.gz) in /mingw/, and then move the /mingw/mingw32 directory somewhere safe outside of /mingw/. I then found that re-running configure allowed libtool to find the version of ld.exe in /mingw/bin rather than /mingw/mingw32/bin, and the linking problem disappeared. I'd be interested to hear whether this solves the problem for you. Kind regards, Mark. _______________________________________________ geos-devel mailing list geos-devel@geos.refractions.net http://geos.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/geos-devel
