I was going to make a suggestion about this, but then I realised there is something I don't understand... Most UNIXes seem to have a lot of symbolic links in conjunction with shared libraries. On my system I have... -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3019339 Nov 9 1997 /lib/libc-2.0.5.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 12 1998 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.0.5.so So the question is... Why isn't everyone on UNIX having the problem I am having with more than one copy of libraries being loaded? I would have thought the right thing for the UNIX dynamic linker to do would be to look at the inode and device of a file to decide if a library is already loaded. So what is going on on my system (Linux) and how do other systems work? -- Chris Bitmead http://www.ans.com.au/~chrisb mailto:chrisb@ans.com.au
