Solaris 8 is circa-2000, long long before x86_64 - it may run on such a machine in 32-bit mode, but Solaris 10 (early 2005) was the first release to have 64-bit support on amd64/em64t. > Also, does Solaris do symbol versioning? Yes - see the Linker & Libraries guide for full details: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984?l=en and if you have questions on that, there's a tools-linking list/forum: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/discussions/ -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
