As I said above, in ELF libraries, only the `.so' versions are used for link-time library searches. In my original reply, I quoted the dynamic-linking header from a 3.0 libtermlib.so, which clearly indicates that the name recorded in the executable for use by the ELF run-time linker is `libtermcap.so.2', as would have been clear if you had bothered to actually compile a program yourself and run `ldd' on it. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
