Note Submitter: felipe dot medeiros at kanashii dot com dot br ---- Jonathon Reinhart, don't assume it. .SO and .A files are libraries for dynamic and stactic linking when you compile a program. just to install <package> isn't enought to compile against it's libraries, as them may be only run-time libraries and give you some headache. The correct is to install <package>-devel, which will give you the right libraries for compile time. And one final word... linux is by now a stable system with lots of working done... if the thing you're trying to do is too hard or unexplained it means that either you're trying something noone ever cared about spending his time on it or you didn't readed how to do it properly. Either way try to learn more about what you're trying.
