attempted static link of dynamic object

[dayalsoap]

Hi,

In my lib dir, I have things like
libeventpath.a and libeventpath.so


When I try to compile and link to libeventpath.a I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `/global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libevpath.so'

The command I'm using to compile is:

CC  -DHAVE_CONFIG -I.   -I/global/homes/h/habb/jmp/include  -g -O0 -c -o manager.o manager.c

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link CC   -g -O0 -o manager manager.o -L/global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib	 -leventpath -latl -lpthread -lrt -ltiming

However, this stinking libtool thing produces this:

libtool: link: CC -g -O0 -o manager manager.o  -L/global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libeventpath.so /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libgen_thread.so /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libffs.so /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libcod.so /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libdill.so -lm /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libfm.so /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libcercs_env.so -ldl /global/homes/h/habb/jmp/lib/libatl.so -lpthread -lrt -ltiming

All of those other things are which eventpath depends upon, but why is libtool using the .so instead of the .a?

I copied and pasted what libtool was outputting, and changed the .so to .a and it works.

Any idea as to why libtool is suddenly looking for the .so's?

How to fix this?
