I'm a bit surprised it works fine with 64-bit, really, given that libcurl needs lots of static dependencies to work fine in static linking. Basically, on Linux static libraries don't have dependency information, you'll need to get that from an external source: fugl:~> curl-config --static-libs /usr/lib/libcurl.a -lidn -llber -lldap -lrt -lgssapi_krb5 -lgssapi_krb5 -lz -lgnutls -lgcrypt Normally pkg-config could also be used for this, but for some reason libcurl's pkg-config file appears to be broken. Also, for good measure, something(TM) caused libgssapi_krb5 to no longer be available as a static library at some point, which is causing a headache. > I can dynamic link just fine. 64-bit Linux uses libcurl 7.15 package. > 32-bit linux uses libcurl 7.18. This is also weird. Debian's version numbers are almost always in sync between 32- and 64-bit, so it sounds like your 64-bit install is an older version of Debian; probably etch (4.0, IIRC). If you're only after a quick temporary solution, and it works for you on 64-bit, you could try reinstalling etch on the 32-bit partition as well. > I tried downloading the latest libcurl sources (7.19) and things got even > worse.

I tried it, and it was relatively painless for me. What error messages did you get? (If you have problems with missing libraries etc., the simplest thing is probably to ask apt to replicate the build dependencies of the Debian package with “apt-get build-dep curl”.) You can get the binary I built at http://home.samfundet.no/~sesse/sprime2511.gz, but I assume you'd rather want to build your own to get in the security code stuff :-) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
