I see that in the marcuscom repository the gtk libraries have a version of 0 (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0), whereas the current stable port has a version of 600 (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.600). Could someone please explain the logic behind the gtk library versioning and whether the committed gnome 2.12 will keep the 0 versions? The main issue I'm trying to solve is whether we can dlopen a shared library on FreeBSD by specifying a version number of 0 and let the dynamic linker load the version that is currently installed. It seems that Eclipse on Linux and other Unix systems does this and they claim we have a weird linker. Thanks for any feedback. Panagiotis
