You *can* link Linux libraries with FreeBSD binaries (and vice versa), if the library does not perform any syscalls, e.g. it is a pure computation library or similar. > That said it would be really nice if it ignored incompatible libraries :) No. Please don't put such pseudo-cleverness into rtld. It wouldn't be an improvement, in fact it might break some working configurations. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
