Hello Bob, Yes, I know, we already gone though this argument before and I Ralph helped me with the hack "-rpath $(libdir)" [1]. This argument is good for best practice design, but there are cases in which the shared library should be with minimum dependencies, I explained all at thread [2], it should be my decision to make. Now, this already works using libtool in: - Windows 32bit - Windows 64bit - Solaris 8 - Solaris 10 sparc - Solaris 10 intel - AIX 5.3 - AIX 6.1 - Linux 2.2 i386 - Linux 2.4 i386 - Linux 2.6 i686 - Linux 2.6 x86_64 - Linux 2.6 ppc - Linux 2.6 s390 So something must be different in hpux configuration, while it can behave like any other OS, libtool enforces something else. Alon.
