Re: Static compiling

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. Putting in "-Wl, -Bstatic" and
just having "-static" seem to imply the same thing (at least with gcc).
I tested both just in case. I'm getting the same error though, so they
have to be indentical. I'm including a copy of the link error I'm
getting just in case it rings any bells with anyone. As far as the
install for libwww went,  I just followed the unix directions for
generating a configure file, then ran "make; make install". It compiled
and installed without any errors, and dynamic linking seems to work as
expected. I've been long away from the  C world (having been in the
realms of Perl and Java for the past few years), so it's entirely
possible I'm doing something stupid.

In case it matters, I'm on a Inetl/Linux box running Red Hat 6.2. I'm
using a fairly new version of libwww (downloaded it late last week).
Thanks for any help anyone has.

I'd  building a tool for stress testing web servers/servlet engines and
would like to be able to distribute a binary without having to install
any libraries.
