So if gEDA needs Foo then why not compile it into the geda apps.


I would vote against this, because this is even more magic. configure would have to determine, wether to use the packaged lib or the system one. It must perform all the decisions, that installing package foo might involve.

Why? gEDA would always use the one that it includes in it's package because it is known to work.

We are already seeing this with our cad tool vendors. They will include a copy perl with their apps and they will
use that rather than the one on the system because it reduces the number of support calls.
