Same source for the refined question: Unix-like systems
Most Unix-like <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like> systems have a "search path" specifying file system directories <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_%28file_systems%29> in which to look for dynamic libraries. On some systems, the default path is specified in a configuration file <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_file> ; in others, it is hard coded into the dynamic loader. Some executable file <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable> formats can specify additional directories in which to search for libraries for a particular program. This can usually be overridden with an environment variable <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable> , although it is disabled for setuid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid> and setgid programs, so that a user can't force such a program to run arbitrary code. Developers of libraries are encouraged to place their dynamic libraries in places in the default search path. On the downside, this can make installation of new libraries problematic, and these "known" locations quickly become home to an increasing number of library files, making management more complex. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dino Viehland Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 4:40 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Anyone know what DLLs is called on Unix? Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear - I know they're .so files but is that also the name of the directory where the extensino modules are stored relative to the Python installation?

Unfortunately I don't have a Unix box handy but I'm just guessing it's not called DLLs there :-). _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com -- http://www.goldwatches.com/ http://www.jewelerslounge.com
