Hi Werner: Could you comment on the general reasons why libplplotdmd is built as static only?
I locally tried a shared build and ran into trouble with /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3/libgphobos.a on Debian Lenny which had not been compiled with -fPIC (so obviously could not be linked by a shared version of libplplotdmd). I have submitted a bug report to Debian about this issue (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=530005). Is this just a Debian Lenny packaging issue (compile the objects in libgphobos with position-independent code) or is this a more general problem that will require libplplotdmd to be built as a static library into the indefinite future?
