The LGPL http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html in the 5th. para of the preamble says:- <quote> If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. </quote> I rest my case M'Lud. It's also interesting that the .rpm file for linux is only available from one FirstClass distributor in Europe ( Italy iirc ). All links to the Linux version from the main FirstClass web site have either been inactivated or removed. It's my belief that compliance with the LGPL has proven too difficult for FirstClass and they have stopped distributing a Linux version. If somebody out there could correct my impressions I'd be very grateful. A possible solution to the problem might be to use:- http://open-steam.org/index.html?content=start_en&menu=-1&item=-1&lang=en or http://kolab.kroupware.org/ I have played with the former a while ago and found that it was then a developmental release, but it would appear from the web site to have received considerable work since. I know nothing about kolab. > On Tue, 12 Aug 2003 11:26:26 +1200 > > Christopher Sawtell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > How can you know that it is statically compiled? > > > > bash-2.05b$ ldd /opt/firstclass/fcc > > not a dynamic executable > > > > -- > > Sincerely etc., > > Christopher Sawtell -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
