You can with -R, but that doesn't solve this problem. I don't want to remove /usr/lib from the link path. The problem really is that when you give configure a path to some specific place for a static library, but you also have that library as a shared library in /usr/lib things get messy because we do the configure check against the located static library explicitly, but then we do a -L/specific/place -lgd which ends up linking in the different shared library from /usr/lib. It isn't just for GD this happens, it just so happens to be more common for people to have two copies of GD. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
