dear list, i was looking into the qhull-devel package on extras, and I get a file which is in /usr/lib/libqhull.la. I have never seen a .la file before and so was wondering what this is, and how i should link to the library when calling. Any help? thanks very much, and best wishes, trotter ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo!
