I need to write and compile a program that links in Linux shared libraries but have never done this before. The libraries are from a Linux version of a popular database. They contain the calls I need to access the db from my client program running on a freebsd machine. I've read most of the docs concerning Linux emulation, but they seem to deal with running just the binaries. What do I need to do to use these libraries at runtime?
