So, to summarize Gary's work. - The result of 'configure --with-ldflags=-Bstatic' still contains shared libraries. - The result of './configure --enable-static=yes --enable-dynamic=no' contains no shared libraries. Is it due to the two options or just one of the two options? The options are not in pre5.1.x. How do we achieve that same effect in 5.0.x?
Will the size of installation smaller if the shared libraries is not included?

It still dies but I am tracking it down exactly why. Use: ./configure --enable-static=yes --enable-dynamic=no --with-mib_modules=psb It appears to be ok for one of the tables initialisation etc. I will find out in the next hour whats going on. No shared libraries are pulled in.
