Hi, Sorry for a late reply. Since I'm not a KDE user myself, I have to wait for someone to test it for me.

It still doesn't load without *.la present, from a test result from a KDE user. (See the report at the end of this message.) Looking at kdelibs 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-6 source, I can't find such patch, either.

IMHO, having such dependency is not a bad thing. For example, pango is currently depending on libthai. And it has served GNOME users well out of the box, without requiring extra knowledge among users to manually install a weird package like "libthai-dev" to have proper Thai support like in KDE. Interoperability problems are also closely worked out, unlike this case, which has been out of my awareness for a while, until someone complained it loudly. -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/ Test report by Pattara Kiatisevi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: System: Debian Unstable, installed using Sidux 2007-04.5-200712260120-eros_xmas-kde-lite-i386 then apt-get updated and upgraded kdebase, kdelibs, kdelibs4c2a to version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-6 Result: Konqueror/KHTML still needs "libthai.la" in order to load libthai and break Thai words properly. How-to-notice: -install libthai0 package, run "konqueror" from xterm or Konsole, browse to a Thai site, e.g., http://linux.thai.net/, on screen you will see: Trying to load libthai dynamically... Error, can't load libthai... -then be root and cd /usr/lib ; wget http://suriyan.in.th/download/libthai.la, then try again, no error message should show.
