Hi, I translated my library using libtool with the -version-info=5:0:0 parameter and I installed it into /usr/local//lib using libtool. Then I translated executable "prog" which was linked with this library. Readelf -d prog shows
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libmylibrary.so.5] Then I translated same library again with parameter -version-info 6:0:6. With this, I wanted to say that this new interface number 6 is backward compatible with all older interfaces and that all programs that was ever linked againts any former version of my library should now link this new version of library. However after I installed new library, my "prog" is still linking old libmylibrary.5.0.0 because symlink libmylibrary.so.5 is still pointing to old one. The only thing that happened is that executables that was linked (I mean when link editor created it) with mylibrary interface version 0 are now dynamicaly linked with the new library because libmylibrary.so.0 symlink is now pointing to new library that was translated with -version-info 6:0:6 parameter. Could anyone help ? Thanks _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
