I am trying to build some program under Cygwin/X and it seemed that there is some sort of problem with linking to one of the libraries (*.la) which were made during the build process. anyway after I added "--disable-shared" to configure, the build process went O.K. and I didnt get no ld error. I am still not sure if the problem is from Libtool or Cygwin/X (my guess is Cygwin/X) , but for now I am quite satisfied with the static libraries as is. thank you all for your help ! Azencot Omri
