I've had numerous problems with shared libs under freebsd 3.2. I don't fully understand how they're supposed to work, but I regularly have to run ldconfig. I keep two files around -- one with the a.out shared library directories and one with the elf shared library directories. I can't get ldconfig -R to do anything useful, so a usually have to re-run ldconfig -aout <file> and ldconfig -elf <file> to pick up new shared libs. This is a PIA, but it works. Of course, I'm probably doing something wrong. I spend most of my time on Solaris where shared libraries are much easier to deal with. Anyway, try running ldconfig with whatever options you need and see if that helps. Cheers, Richard On Thu, 15 Jul 1999, Jamie Norwood wrote: > OK, this has me completely puzzled.
