Well some code, like svn's plugin system, wants to attemp to load a dso to see if it is there. If it's not, that's fine, it just means that a certain method of accessing the repository is unavailable. Thus, failure to be able to loead a dso shouldn't be a fatal error IMO. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kevin Pilch-Bisson http://www.pilch-bisson.net "Historically speaking, the presences of wheels in Unix has never precluded their reinvention." - Larry Wall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
