The C++ libraries included in the ardour CVS tree are all 
statically linked with the ardour binary.  This was done to 
prevent many of the problems when dynamically linking C++ 
libraries compiled with different compiler flags.  All of these 
libraries are likely included with your Linux distribution and 
*those* libraries are the ones to use with other apps.  There is 
absolutely no reason to use these (static) libraries with any 
other app.  Ardour's use of them does not affect other apps in 
any way, so don't worry about it.  

There has been much discussion on the reason Paul Davis did this,
and although the ardour binaries may not be using shared C++
libs, the argument is generally settled.
