On the mailing list I found another replacement Makefile which I also tried. Still no joy. Checking the link(5) man page I found a CAVEAT that only GNU C currently supports the creation of shared libraries. Is this really the case ? I thought that I had built qt-1.32 on this system, but maybe my memory is faulty. (Qt is C++ code). Am I right in assuming that ld should be able to handle object files with circular dependencies in them ? Why exactly is ld.so looking for the file at run-time ? I would have thought either 1) All symbols in the executable had been resolved when the executable is linked against the shared library OR 2) The link of the executable against the shared library would have failed with unresolved symbols.
