This, of course, isn't that practical for packaging PoDoFo and its tools in a distro, though. An alternative to static linking is to install the library in a location that's not part of the normal library search path and use rpath linking to ensure the tools can find it. Alternately, of course, you can package it as a normal shared library and just make sure the description & README.Debian make it clear that a given version may be removed & replaced in a non-backward-compatible way at `dist-upgrade' time. -- Craig Ringer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
