The original mutt (0.93) *must* have been aout as it ran under 2.2.8
libslang.so.1.3 was aout. I installed the libslang.so.1.2.2 package
from the CD, which is ELF. I now have the following:
marder-1:/usr/local/lib{61}% ls -l libsl*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 297402 Feb 13 04:14 libslang.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Mar 14 02:12 libslang.so -> libslang.so.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 245722 Feb 13 04:14 libslang.so.1
Someone explained the different version numbering for aout and ELF
(<lib>.maj.min for aout, 1.2.2 promoted to 1.3, and <lib>.maj for
ELF)
As you will see from the header I'm using mutt, so it all works again :-)
Now I understand the version numbering conventions I'm curious that
the error complained about not finding libslang.so.1 (ELF number)
when the (0.93) mutt binary was aout. Does ld.so not look at the
binary type before loading so libs?
Thanks for your help Greg.
