Which version of xcode and of X11 do you have installed? AFAIK, the currently officially available versions still have the *.la files. At worst, you can reinstall X11SDK.pkg from xcode <= 3.1.1, which still has the *.la files, and then install the latest xquartz update on top of it. This doesn't mean that the Fink project can sleep on and not *very soon* come up with an idea how to deal with the situation of missing /usr/X11/lib/*.la files. We really need a solution. The next version of xcode and coming versions of the xquartz updates *will not have these *.la files any more*. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
