- Hello Experts!
-
- On our Sparc Station with SUNOS 4.1.1 we have shared libraries
- with version 1.6 and 1.6.1 in /usr/lib as follows:
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 7996 Oct 11 1990 /usr/lib/libc.sa.1.6
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 516096 Oct 12 1990 /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 532480 Mar 27 1992 /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6.1
-
- Now I ftp'd a binary from some other Sparc Station which on invocation
- produced a linker warning:
- ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6.1 has older revision than expected 7
-
- So my libraries are not up to date. I can get from the same Sparc Station
- the libraries with version 1.8 and 1.8.1. My question is if I can
- just ftp these and put them in my /usr/lib and do a ldconfig.
- I don't want to *JUST DO IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS* because
- if something is wrong with this, many programs wouldn't work anymore.
- Perhaps even the rm I need to undo my disastrous attempt.
-
- BTW I feel pretty left alone with this shared library stuff. Nothing
- about these questions in the man pages (or did I overlook s.t.?)
- Does anyone know a good book/article/faq-list which explains
- the philosophy/dos & don'ts in connection with shared libraries?
-
- Thanxalot for any advice!
