Because some other *.la file referenced it. That in turn is likely so because at the time, that other *.la file was created the missing file was present on the system building the package. libtool assumes that such refereced files are needed, and subsequently requires their presence even for libraries only indirectly linking to them. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
