    If I remember well, libwww does generate both static and dynamic
libraries.
    I have a test program where I just add '-Wl,-Bstatic' to statically link
libwww
    (and add '-Wl,-Bdynamic' for such libraries that don't seem to have a
static version).

    It may be that expat doesn't have a static version of the library, so you
can try
    to force the load of the dynamic version. I cannot be more precise since
for my
    application I didn't include expat at all.
