Hi Sheldon, If you are using any of the following functions - dlopen(), dladdr(), dlerror(), dlsym(), or dlclose() then you need to link with the libdl.so library. Hence, you require the option -ldl. If you are not using them directly, then probably some other code is using them. -Amit --- Jeremy Sheldon <jeremy_sheldon@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > would someone please point me to the correct place to find > information on > what the -ldl option would do for g++ ?
