You still have to *install* the libraries used by the
application. Thats all I meant, and it was what I read the complaint
as being all about. Installing libraries is always necessary without
static linking. The fact that many people have some version of the
GNOME libs hanging around doesn't change that requirement, it just
happens to be pre-fulfilled.
