Any that rely on libgnumalloc in fact. None should rely on gnumalloc.

'ldconfig' tells you where ELF libraries will be searched. 'ldconfig -aout' tells you where a.out libraries will be searched. Neither has any effect on the search path used by the linker when it's building an executable. Firstly, xpm should not be linking against gnumalloc. Secondly, if you wanted it to, it will need -L <path> passed to the linker. Thirdly, you're trying to build an ELF libXpm, so linking against an a.out compatability stub won't help. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
