Hello,

    I am in need of net wisdom.

    I teach an entry level course on a network of
    sun workstations. I prepared a 'graphics' library
    based on motif. 

    My account and the students accounts are, as far
    as I know, identical (with the exception of the
    smaller quota).

    If I compile a short program and link in my graphics
    library, libXm.a and other required library,
    my resulting executable is, thanks to dynamic
    linking, around 50KB in size.

    If one of my students does the same, he gets
    an executable around 2MB in size. The loader
    has not performed dynamic linking. 

    I checked
    the ld command (using gcc -v), and in both
    cases the load commands are identical.
    I could not see any difference in environment
    variables.

    Did anyone experience such a behavior from the
    loader, and know the reason it would switch 
    from dynamic linking to static linking ?
    Thanks in advance.
