You don't*. The dynamic linker only searches in a set of blessed paths unless you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can dlopen() the .so and look up symbols with dlsym() (but watch out for C++ name mangling). * Okay, that's not entirely true. There are hacks like setting $ORIGIN but not all linkers support that. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
