on AIX, default makefiles build a zsh.xxx.so.
What changes do i do to make is statically linked.
(or at least give it a -R //path// while building zsh).
I don't want to mess around with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which is
already a mess in my current config.
TIA
Vardhan.

Add "--disable-dynamic" to the configure command line.

It should do that itself. Note that you can't run zsh directly from
the build directories; you have to install the .so files so that it can
find them.

will that not disable dynamic loading of modules too ??
Actuall zsh being dependent on zsh-3.1.6.so is causing
problem. i've compiled on HP and SunOS too, where
ldd zsh doesn not list anny zsh*so

yeah, for modules i need to insall, but as i said, zsh-3.1.6.so is
what is causing me pains.
Thanx for repl

Some systems do not allow access to all symbols in executables at run time (for
use with dynamic loading). Modules - unfortunately - have to access symbols from
main zsh code. Putting main zsh code in dynamic library is one way to solve this
problem. Some systems provide additional compiler/linker flags to export all
symbols from executable.
Zsh tests if symbols in executables are available; and it will use additional
flags to avoid libzsh.so on known systems. If libzsh.so is built on AIX it
means, that these tests fail and you won't be able to use dynamic modules
without libzsh.so at all.

That's a configuration bug, then, because it's not necessary on AIX. My
AIX testing ground has now gone, however.
