IIUC, the linker will hard-code the full path name (include directory name) into DT_NEEDED if the shared library has no soname. That would be undesirable - the DT_NEEDED reference must be just the file name, not the full path. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11347> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
