Re: Linking problem...

It appears that the linker will choose a dylib
over an archive lib.

I got around the problem by moving the dylibs out
of the directory containing libpq.a and then
was able to get the libpq to be staticly linked
into the image.

The only one I could get libpq.a into the build
process was to drag the file onto the project.
Then open panel in the add file to project would
not let me choose the static library.

I guess I will need to keep a copy of the static
lib in some other directory...
