Sorry my prior message was misleading.  Here is how things are linked:

Currently orbit2 is the only app that is giving me a compile problem.  
This is pretty much a standard debian unstable system.  Built recently 
while using default options for install.  What are *.la files?  Where 
can I get some info on what they are used for?

Is this thread related?

Thanks for the help,

Attached is a longer list of the output.  Any suggestions?
