My understanding, still incomplete though it is, is that for the c++ stuff
dynamic linking is not the default since name mangling can get in the way.
Someone on another list suggested I compile using gcc instead of g++ and
explicitly tell it to use libstdc++. You seem to have solved my problem,
though: can you tell me what your compiler cammand line was for generating
that binary?

Are you building non-GPL code for binaery distrobution as well?

thanks for your help!
