You cannot. For a shared library you need position independent code which is usually not available in static libraries. Generally, if you want to use APXS, you need shared versions of all involved libraries. For gd, you might try the version from http://sasweb.de/gd-1.3-modern.tar.gz which uses libtool to generate a shared library, too. It also has autoconf/automake support. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
