You're checking the version stamp in spice-char.so. I'd think that's good enough. No need to transitively check. > And we will need to add $moddir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and lose the restriction of > modules directory too. Or add DT_RUN_PATH to the main executable, or even add DT_RUN_PATH to the module itself. In particular, link the module with -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN' and dependencies for the module will automatically be looked for in the directory in which the module is found. Which is almost certiainly the only thing that we want -- all modules in the same directory. r~
