In all the examples I've seen, the "mapping" entries in libmap.conf(5), i.e., the ones in the second column, are relative to the search path for libraries. Further, it is better to use only the basename of the executable in the constraint of the mapping --- the part enclosed by square brackets. So, the following may work: cd /usr/local/lib && ln -s libXXX.so libFOO.so to distinguish it from the one in `/usr/lib', which directory comes earlier in the search path. Then, append these two lines to `/etc/libmap.conf': [app2] libXXX.so libFOO.so HTH, Raghavendra. -- N.

The best option is to bump version number of the shared library with the more functions. FreeBSD doesn't link with .so, it links with .so.$VERSION. It would be easier to help you though, if we wouldn't be talking about libXXX but the actual libraries. Maybe it can be done by adding small changes to the port that installs /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so (if this isn't your own library). -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I specified following in /etc/libmap.conf: [/usr/bin/app2/] libXXX.so /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so Now when run app2 it does not say anymore "undefined references" but it says "Shared object "/usr/local/lib/libXXX.so" not found" ls -l /usr/local/lib/libXXX.so shows its there.
