Hi, Is there any sort of general advice one should follow when dealing with multiple versions of libraries? For instance, it seems like there are plenty of symbolic *.so links to the most up-to-date *.so.# file, but most applications tend to specify a specific number. (Is there a reason for this?) My particular trouble tonight was a libGL.so.1 file that was referencing several undefined pthread functions-- I found the pthread library, added it to my $ldconfig_paths in rc.conf, reran ldconfig -R, and tried the build again (qt-linguist). Same error. I finally mv'ed libGL.so.1 to a backup file, made a symbolic link to libGL.so in its place (which in turn points to libGL.so.14). Am I going to have problems later on because of this? Is there something else I can do that isn't so kludgy? Thanks, Mark Miller To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
