I always find the section in the Program-Library-HOWTO (from the Linux Document Project) quite helpful: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html#AEN95 The HOWTO is a bit out of date if you're a C++ programmer. It doesn't cover symbol visibility <http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility>, for example. -- Richard Dawe [ http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~phekda/richdawe/ ] "You just amass stuff while you are alive.
