Question Qt Libs Static or Shared


I see that my favorite Windows Browser (Opera) has a new version (7.21) in both M$ and Linux forms. It uses Qt. The download site gives a choice of static or shared lib version. KDE is my preferred Desktop, & I believe it's using the shared version.
I imply this by the existance of libqt-mt.so and other (libqt*.so*)links. Outside of doing this sort of file search, is there a better way to make this call? I suppose I could just get the statically linked version, and then I could also use it in Gnome as well. But I would like to know how to determine this for other packages I might want to try.

Thx ahead of time.

You can't go wrong using the static version.

Thx, boudie. I knew that. What I was wondering, was if there was a better way to verify what I had, other than something like

find / -print 2>/dev/null | xargs grep lib | less

The difference in size between the static and shared version is ~1.3M ( 56K dialup, that never exceeds 36K)
