I dont know what did you mean by th elibrary is specified too early. do you mean that i should 've done it this way ?? CFLAGS=-I/usr/include CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib LDFLAGS=--static ./configure --prefix=./here if that's what you mean, I did't. I tried every thing. now I'm having the sam eproblem compiling dialog statically the same way. Does that help ?? I did this to make sure export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/lib:/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong.
