I cannot think of any sensible reason for this behavior, so I guess it would be good if it can be "fixed" without breaking something else :) You best report it by creating a patch and using send-pr(1) to submit it. > 2) Because libjava.so and libverify.so were compiled by the java/jdk14 > port, your suggestions on recompiling those libraries should be done > within that framework. (This part is for you Alexey). Yes, I meant that you hack the port's Makefile and if something good comes out publish your changes with send-pr(1) :) > 3) For now, I will try using ldconfig, but I think that the better > solution is to fix the creation of the shared libraries. > > -- > Tom Schutter -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFCzMcKFw6SP/bBpCARAviQAJ9SXLAegyH8o10+ikSJD1Pg1KbYwgCgr+LY raZMoJREpiETsKG8VEJGdVk= =hKrK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
