Stupid user error on this case. I had built png with: make prefix=/usr ZLIBLIB= ZLIBINC= -f scripts/makefile.linux Which happily allowed it to build and compile. I changed my driver script to use ZLIBLIB=/usr/lib and now it works. Still, I do stand by my argument that the autoconf code should be portable, and not every system is ELF based and offers a DT_NEEDED style feature. mrc -- Mike Castle dalgoda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx www.netcom.com/~dalgoda/ We are all of us living in the shadow of Manhattan. -- Watchmen fatal ("You are in a maze of twisty compiler features, all different"); -- gcc
