Are the following two items correct: - to link statically you need libdb ? - to link dynamically you don't ? If they are both simultaneously correct then the .la should represent this, and be doing the right thing. If its not, it may be a libtool platform bug, or possibly [but unlikely] we've found a bug in libtools .la format. I'd need to check the source, which I don't have time to do just-now, but I thought there was provision for static and shared linking having different needs. -Rob
