Lance,
Thanks for your detailed answer. Examples would be helpful but not
necessary.

Rob,
Shared libraries are built from PIC shared objects. Archive libraries are
just collections of normally compiled objects (althought I've seen Oracle
put
PIC objects in them). So compile-time linking is just put of the process
-
you must have given the appropriate PIC flags to the compiler first so that
you have objects capable of being linked into a shared library. Trying to
convert an archive library to a shared library without recompiling the
source
code to PIC objects won't work.
Also, beware on HP-UX: It does _not_ use the environment variable
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH" at runtime. You can use the environment variable
"SHLIB_PATH" for the same purpose, but _only_ if it was enabled at
compile-time linking (and it is not by default). You can also embed custom
lookup paths. Look at the man pages for syntax of the the linker flag....
I
don't remember off the top of my head. You can use the HP-UX command:
'chatr' to check out things in a compiled executable stub. It will show
lookup criteria for shared libararies and other related
information.......more information than 'ldd', which is good since you
don't
have 'ldd' on HP-UX either. If I remember correctly 'chatr' also works
against shared libraries, which is nice when you need to see more
dependencies. I you'd like an example, I can probably dig something up,
but
it'll take me a day or so.
