> you can't link to -lXxf86vm if it's only available as a static library. to be more precise... you can't link a non-PIC object into a PIC shared object. the xlibs-pic package provides PIC versions of libXxf86vm.a. You should build-dep on that and link against libXxf86vm_pic instead. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
