Hello again,
I have now tried to link my Mercury library with the libgc that Guile
uses instead of the Mercury one, and I asked about it on the Mercury
mailing list, where I got this reply:
"The version of libgc that Mercury uses contains Mercury specific
modifications; I would be surprised if linking against the system
wide one worked."
The final parts of both strace outputs are included below.
The version of Guile I am using is 1.8.7 -- is it worth trying 1.9
instead?
Is it generally possible to use two different libgc at the same time?
Grateful for any help with this.
/Tomas
