Re: [Mcrypt-developers] linking statically and/or error while loading shared libraries

I guess I am showing what a newbie I am.  I think I have to remove -lmcrypt
and do this instead:

gcc -o xx xx.o -L/usr/local/lib -static /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt.so

This seems to link OK, but when I try to run the resultant application, I get
this:

/usr/lib/libc.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Yikes!  I will go back to Google, but I have no idea what this means... why
is libc.so now creating problems?  What does that have to do with libmcrypt?

All this is on Fedora Core 2, BTW.

The libmcrypt README would have been a good place to start.  Apparently, I'd
have to recompile libmcrypt to use dynamic loading to get this to work? 
Since I wanted static linking in the first place, I will leave this one alone
unless I can't get the problem above worked out...

I'd deeply appreciate it if anyone can help!
