Nope, this is precisely how darwin's linker forces us to do it. And the breakage that results otherwise is no small or hypothetical matter. Wouldn't it be "fun" if everything you had ever compiled against the old gettext library suddenly broke because you updated to the new gettext library, instead of each package sanely (though arbitrarily) picking one specific version and using it consistently. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
