In any case, you seem to mix libltdl and libtool as libtool doesn't do any dlsyms. In case you have real trouble (which seems to be true :), try to use -dlopen on the generated libraries while linking the executable. This should also work on libraries, but will only affect the generated .la file to make libtool do the real -dlopen while creating konqueror. Note that all of this is a bit tricky to do portable (and having possible static libs in mind - which we do not have, but libtool has support for that, which we used for kcontrol and koffice once) Greetings, Stephan -- It said Windows 95 or better, so in theory Linux should run it GeorgeH on /.
