I will send the -v from gcc and the output from both runs under a

beginning to believe that there is an issue between the -l and the -L
calls in gcc.

Those 2 flags do completely different things:

-L - specifies directories to be searched for library files
-l - specifies libraries to be linked in, without the "lib" in the name

So, -Lrtree -lrtree flags will attempt to link in the librtree.{so,a}
file, and include the directory "rtree" in the search path used to
find libraries.  Since xastir includes the functionality of rtree in
the main executable, it's probably looking for librtree.a to compile
in static (am I right Curt?), and it will probably be inside the
directory "rtree" included with the xasitr source code.

The order of these two flags do not matter at all, since they indicate
completely different things.
