Dynamically linked binaries expect to use shared libraries on your system. Staticly linked binaries don't - the code is all linked in. Dynamically linked binaries are smaller, but may require you to install the libraries it's looking for. Staticly linked binaries are complete, and never require installing anything else. However, if they got the wrong version of a library, you can't fix it. <mike On Fri, 15 Jan 1999, Michael A. Endsley wrote: > Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 11:55:06 -0900 (AKST) > From: Michael A.
