If it says ELF blah blah blah, then it is highly likely that your system is ELF. : Can I transliterate the aout stuff and get it to work? (Maybe this : was supposed to have been done by aout-to-elf, but my numerous : fuddlings probably fubar'ed it.) No. : Part of my problem is that I really don't understand a.out vs elf. : Is there something I can read to better describe the different : formats and how libraries are located (e.g., why do I need to have : blah.k when I now have blah.l?) There is information about this in the handbook. I know there is a slightly revisionist history of object formats in it written by me...
