Or you want it to link on another platform. I'm not sure at what point it was decided that -lrsaref -lRSAglue became deprecated (as opposed to optional) because they're required for cross-platform compatability (in both directions). > The only special case at present is if you are in the US and are > trying to build static binaries using RSA.

Ports link themselves, actually..probably most of them choose to link dynamically, but I'm not sure off the top of my head. Kris ---- "How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?"
