The *only* package I can see so far which has /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la in it is vte: elite scott% grep libXrender\.la /usr/lib/*.la /usr/lib/libvte.la:dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.la /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.la /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la -lm /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.la /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.la /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.la /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lXft /usr/lib/libfreetype.la -lz /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.la -lfontconfig -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lncurses' To remove "recursive linking" you'd need to recompile/rebuild *everything* using libtool, after libtoolizeing with the new libtool. I mean everything too, that's a big job. Scott -- Have you ever, ever felt like this? Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
