no, static linking has NOTHING to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. actually, you don't even need a static link here, just link it against the alternate libcurl.so that you put in an alternate path. for instance, build your new curl library to live somewhere like /usr/locall/curl/lib, then specify this as a -L argument to the link of your rtorrent, which likely is built to install to /usr/local/bin or such. depending on how rtorrent's build works, this could be a simple argument to the ../configure, like --path-libcurl=/usr/local/curl/lib _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
