(diasce-1.2 will die when using gcc3.3 due to multiline string literals, but that's been fixed in -1.4 ;)
does the source refer to any linc header ? if not it can be ditched (aka hacked out of the configs).. dunno why diasce should need linc.
linc is only needed run-time when determining which libraries a new project will link against. I've committed a patch that removes the linc checks from the configure script when newer versions of ORBit2 are installed. The patch also tidies up the library template for new projects.
