BTW: I forgot one comment... ... the issue Peter pointed out is that libast.so.1 is currently not a "public API" from the viewpoint of the "interface stabilty", currently it's "project private" (Solaris seperates between different types of API stabilty, e.g. whether an API is "safe" to use for other applications (which do not belong to the same project as the library itself) or whether it may change without any further warning between minor release versions). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
