This needs a change in the Debian packaging files for the libopts25-dev package in Debian, it's not an upstream issue: http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libopts25-dev/filelist In the file: debian/libopts25-dev.install Simply remove the lines: usr/lib/libopts.la usr/lib/libguileopts.la It doesn't matter if the autotools continue to generate the .la file for build purposes, it is just that the .la file should either not be packaged or should be modified during the Debian packaging process to not list anything in the dependency_libs variable. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
