what are lib*.la and lib*.lai ???
When are they used ???

Just to be sure ...

Thus, the 3 libraries (libucdagent - libucdmibs - libsnmp) are always
the same. 
i.e.: they can be used at run time, by a subagent 'B' even if they have
been produced by the Makefile during the compilation of a subagent 'A'.

I'm not using 'make install' because the master agent and the subagents
are not running on the SUN used for compilation. I'm making unix
packages to make an install using
unix command 'pkgadd'.


Thanks again for all,
