I think I figured out what is going on. When I launch my application on the older systems, the system program loader is being invoked which, isn't ABI compatible with the provided libraries. So, I launched my application from the command line using the program loader that I provide as follows. ->../lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path ../lib ./interwrite-learning-systray And everything works. So, it's easy enough to right a launch script that performs the above operation but, is this a good approach? The other approach as suggested would be to build on a very old system. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
