Hi Hez: To follow up on the recent permission bits thread with Andrew I have made this installed ocaml stublibs change as of revision 11880 to make all our installed shared objects consistently drop the execution permission bits.
The result of "make install" on my system is as follows: software@raven> ls -l /home/software/plplot_svn/installcmake/lib/ocaml/3.11.2/stublibs/ total 148 -rw-r--r-- 1 software software 6240 Aug 12 11:09 dllplcairo_stubs.so -rw-r--r-- 1 software software 136378 Aug 12 11:09 dllplplot_stubs.so where my install prefix option for cmake was -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/software/plplot_svn/installcmake Could you please test this result on your own Linux system to make sure the lack of permissions bits is okay for these installed shared objects? I removed these permission bits using consistency arguments, but ocaml may have special needs that we are unaware of. My guess is our CMake-based build and test system "test_noninteractive" target includes ocaml tests of our standard examples that already use dllplplot_stubs.so, but I am not completely sure about that, and I am not aware of any test that uses dllplcairo_stubs.so (although there might be one). I assume these shared objects are dlopened by ocaml in some way so that ldd (which is based on the run-time loader rather than dynamic loading) won't help you to figure out what is using what. So to figure out when/where these shared objects are needed will probably require some brute-force experiments of renaming those shared objects to see what tests fail (if any).
