Hello, Thankyou for the info, I don't suppose you could point me to the difference between a DSO and a normal SO, I was of the opinion that these were different names for the same thing, a'la
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/dso.html , and the debian policy manual recommended soversioning in filenames by the suffix method: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-shlibs This would be consistent with output from file, which reports this DSO to be the same as a soversioned SO ---- u...@user-desktop:/usr/lib/odbc$ file libtdsodbc.so libtdsodbc.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped u...@user-desktop:/usr/lib/odbc$ file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: symbolic link to `libstdc++.so.6.0.13' u...@user-desktop:/usr/lib/odbc$ file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped u...@user-desktop:/usr/lib/odbc$ ---- Thanks. --- On Tue, 11/16/10, Steve Langasek <steve.langa...@canonical.com> wrote: > From: Steve Langasek <steve.langa...@canonical.com> > Subject: [Bug 675758] Re: libtdsodbc.so misnamed > To: my...@yahoo.com > Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 11:35 AM > Sorry, no.
