Hm, OK. I was (foolishly) assuming that upstream's debs would follow Debian conventions, where static linking is frowned upon (except in areas like ocaml & haskell, sigh.) IME glibc doesn't like static linking if your build and runtime hosts are more than a couple of years different in age. IIRC I built darcs (w/o libcurl) on Debian testing (ca. 2009/2010) to run on CentOS4 (2005-), and glibc just said "built against too new a glibc, piss off." Nearer stuff Just Worked on the very rare occasions I've done it. YMMV, good luck &c. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
