The issue usually show up in the following way: There is the "/usr/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory" error, and trying to track it down one finds that the culprit is libfontconfig.la. Removing this file works, temporarily, but reinstalling or rebuilding fontconfig2-dev brings back the broken libfontconfig.la file, because it is reconstructed from the broken libfontconfig.fink.la. The latter does not obstruct linking commands by itself, it only serves as a template to recreate libfontconfig.la. In short, if you really opt for removing all *.la files under /sw/lib, you will avoid the error caused by absent system *.la files. But you may hit other snags, in kde packages, for example. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
