Not at all. If you've installed libfoo, one of the things you must be able to do is compile things that use libfoo. This sometimes means that libfoo would need a non-build-time dependency upon any libraries used by libfoo's header files. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
