That's fairly simple. It just takes to make a static build. Inconveniences: It generates much larger code.
Nevertheless, may be an option. If the codesmith would care for releasing both static and dynamic linked programs, there would be a solution for all. That's what Mozilla does, as sake of example. Firefox just needs to be placed in a working folder, it comes with all the needed libraries self contained. Then you pay the price: download a large program or many smaller libraries. It might be about the same effort, and people wouldn't need to know how to compile. Jose, CO2JA. jgorman01 wrote: > That's my one pet peeve about Linux.
