Description of problem:

.la files aren't strictly needed on Linux and causes a lot of problems when
compiling since they hardcode absolute paths to dependent libraries.

Comment 1 Jindrich Novy 2005-11-08 09:30:56 UTC 
I don't see anything bad with libkpathsea.la, the only .la file shipped with the
teTeX package.
Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2005-11-08 09:34:02 UTC 
This may require fixing on libtool side instead of removing la files from every
package.
Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2005-11-08 14:40:40 UTC 
On second thought it's better to see it removed from teTeX.
Comment 4 Jindrich Novy 2005-11-09 11:26:54 UTC 
Removed since tetex-3.0-9
