Most of the GNU/Linux distributions package the C libraries into several binary packages: - run-time (/lib/libc.so.x, /lib/libm.so.y) where x, y are the version numbers - debugging (libg.a) - static (libc.a and libm.a) - development (/usr/lib/libc.so, /usr/lib/libm.so) which are symlinks on my RH4.2 The development package also includes the startup/shutdown routines (crt1.o, crtbegin.o, crtend.o etc) and static-only libraries (libbsd.a, libgmon.a,libmcheck.a) > The makefile config for ht://dig 2.1.0b1 uses the debugging library, > libg.a, by default, so the choices are: 1: Install the libc-debug package 2: Remove the -ggdb option from the Makefile.in files Unless you are intending to debug programs, it is preferable to remove the debugging options. In fact, I would expect the defaults for a release version to be optimise, rather than debug. > T > > Tim Frost, Systems Engineer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > EDS (NZ) Ltd, Voice: +64 4 495-0504 > P.O.
