Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, it is possible. Although 'find / -name
libcurl\.a' turns up only one copy of the lib. And if it were so, curl would
fail sometimes, which I will test. It doesn't /seem/ to fail, but ... Never
mind that, though -- it's something for my ISP to pursue.

Astounding! The process is a thing of great beauty.
For my last question, and perhaps not /completely/ OT. Consider:
'make' of my app (client), partial output:
gcc -o client client.o -L/home/calls/cgi/libcurl/lib ... etc.
/home/calls/cgi/libcurl/lib>ls -al
total 876
drwxrwxr-x 3 calls calls 4096 Dec 10 07:36 ./
drwxrwxr-x 7 calls calls 4096 Dec 10 07:05 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 calls calls 543492 Dec 10 07:05 libcurl.a

drwxrwxr-x 2 calls calls 4096 Dec 10 07:05 pkgconfig/
/home/calls/cgi/libcurl/lib>
But running the app, I get (and I believe this may go to your question about
more than one libcurl.a):
client: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
Why should this be, do you suppose? I thought that mentioning the location of
libcurl.a in the makefile would take care of anything like this. If not, how to
fix?
Thank you, Daniel.
