Thanks a lot Kathy! I'll try it out. I have both shared and static libraries for the 3rd party stuff. The 3rd party libraries also requires libelf-0.6.4-4 and an old version of the stdc++ library. They distribute a renamed version of the stdc++ library. I compiled with gcc 3.2.3 on solaris 8 and it seems to be working with shared libraries. I will try on linux with static libraries and gcc-compat. Hope it works! Thanks for your help!
