This is strange -- while there are such problems with static libraries (archives) consisting of objects built using headers of glibc 2.2.x when used for linking against static glibc 2.3.x, there should be none with shared objects. That '__ctype_b' reference should get resolved using a versioned symbol that is still available for run-time linking from shared libc. Perhaps that libproc has been built incorrectly, without a reference to libc? Or there is a problem with binutils... Anyway, rebuilding libproc should fix the problem -- make sure `gcc' is used for creating shared libproc rather than `ld' (I hope its Makefiles do not use any wild shared library hackery). Maciej
