Tru64's shared library versioning allows a library to say it is compatible with older versions, but still have binaries built against the new library require the new library. For example, you can have the library be version 3 (so all binaries linked against it require version 3) but say it is still compatible with version 2. Is there a way to do something similar with Linux and/or ELF? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
