Yes.. and dpkg needs tar, and gzip, and a bunch of other odd ball things (like cat, don't ask) > PS: My terrible but working kludges: PPS: make STATICLIBS=yes LFLAGS=-static Makes static binaries.

Not building a shlib means the resulting apt package cannot provide support for capt, aptitude and gnome-apt. Jason
