Well, it was done originally because all those libs weren't there at all originally. Apple has slowly been adding more (and the first freetype they included was not compatible with MPL in some way) But yes, if there are different versions floating around static linking is a good idea.

I think zlib as been pretty reliable, freetype not so much, and I don't think Apple provides libpng at all (I've got a whole bunch of copies on my system that came with various packages -- but none in system locations) > I suppose this is exactly the kind of problem that results from dynamic > linking to a wrong version of freetype: In this case, I think a symlink was missing -- which looks like an Apple bug, but I can't tell you why it didn't bite me -- I suppose it depends on what order you installed/upgraded things. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
