Thanks - I am always making this mistake in terminology. Must try harder :-) I am an old VAX/VMS system programmer and the equivalent VMS construct contained both the major and minor numbers in a single entity (GSMATCH). I always forget that the soname doesn't include the minor number. But then VMS didn't even have true dynamic linking -- I don't miss the delights of "transfer vectors"! _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
