However gnutls is still linked (unnecesarily ) against gpg-error. I am not sure but I think libtool (1.5.22 Debian 1.5.22-4) or the automake Makefiles are to blame. gnutls builds a temporary shared object (noinst_LTLIBRARIES = liblgnu.la) which is linked against libgcrypt (liblgnu_la_LDFLAGS += $(LTLIBGCRYPT)) and lateron the library is linked against this shared object (libgnutls_la_LIBADD = ../lgl/liblgnu.la [...]) and suddenly libgpg-eror is pulled in. The respective object is this one: gnutls13-1.6.1/lgl/liblgnu.la, it is built by this command-line: /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wno-pointer-sign -pipe -lgcrypt -o liblgnu.la dummy.lo asnprintf.lo gc-libgcrypt.lo gc-pbkdf2-sha1.lo md2.lo printf-args.lo printf-parse.lo read-file.lo vasnprintf.lo and later on this one links the actual library: SID)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls13-1.6.1/lib$ /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wno-pointer-sign -pipe -no-undefined -version-info 15:2:2 -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls.vers -L/usr/lib -ltasn1 -o libgnutls.la -rpath /usr/lib gnutls_record.lo [...] auth_dhe_psk.lo ../lgl/liblgnu.la x509/libgnutls_x509.la -L/usr/lib -lz -lgcrypt Removing "-lgcrypt" from the first commandline stops libtool from filling dependency_libs in liblgnu.la and the second commandline does not cause libtool to link the final libgnutls against libgcrypt's dependency libs. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
