Thank you both for your suggestions! I will link the code statically
with PIC per your consensus.
I found when linking the R package library, one also has to link the
dependencies of the static library; in this case libghmm depends on
libxml-2.0 > 2.6 and so I have to link libxml2 to my R package library
after finding libxml2 with pkg-config.
Thanks for the quick replies,
Pariksheet
