i have another question along these lines. why doesn't gcc fail when it's told to create a .so using objects that are not PIC? is it because it might possibly work? it would be a lot easier to track down a compilation failure than backtracking after a dlopen problem and the underlying problem wouldn't be ignored as much as it is now. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brad Midgley
