BTW, with Perl, build with -Duseshrplib and libperl.so will be installed instead of libperl.a. Perl only installs one or the other, not both. Graphviz will try to link libperl to libgv_perl.so, and if it's libperl.a then libgv_perl.so will not be pic. I have no idea if LFS would be willing to add -Duseshrplib. We would have to prove it's a bug. Some platforms don't allow text relocation's in shared objects. If you have an x86-64, or sparc, try building and using Graphviz (with libperl.a). robert
