Description jasondet 2006-08-24 19:37:26 CEST 
I compiled global dyld libraries on Mac OS X, and I found that running

$G4INSTALL/Configure -ldlibs

gives the wrong list of libraries. In particular, the following libraries appear
in the list:

-lG4UIbasic -lG4UIcommon -lG4UIGAG

These should probably all be replaced by -linterfaces, no?

An update: I compiled granular dyld libraries (and no static libraries), and now
"Configure -ldlibs" outputs nothing!

No. If that list appears it's because you installed granular libraries, as such it is correct.
There are other problems with the -ldlibs option to Configure, but this will be reported
in a different bug-report.

You're right. Thanks for reporting this!  The problem has been fixed (actually in the
liblist program, not in Configure) and the fix will be available in the next release or
patch.
