I'm working on a library for accessing MIDI hardware, which uses plugins to communicate with the hardware. Now I'm not sure how to compile these shared libraries. Should I use -Bsymbolic? This makes the linker give a warning when the library is not linked against all the shared libraries it needs itself. Still, I don't seem to be able to use the ALSA library (for rawmidi) when the plugin is not loaded with RTLD_GLOBAL. This may not be a problem, but I'd like to understand why RTLD_LOCAL won't work?
Any help would be appreciated. --martijn
