Ok. I see Branden's NMU declaration for changing the use of the static libs in SDL related packages. Still when I read the change log for libsdl-image1.2 I find...
sdl-image1.2 (1.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * new upstream version * tried to add Brandens fixes again in Makefile.am, aclocal.m4 and configure.in * re-ran libtoolize --force --copy; aclocal; automake --foreign; autoconf -- Christian T. Steigies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 18 Dec 2001 21:21:39 -0500 I assume this is an implementation of Branden's suggestions from... http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200110/msg00353.html If it is...it isn't working on Debian ppc sid. We still get the static versions of the libs. Jack
