Right, it's definitely not a permissions problem, because the dynamic
loader has all the permissions it needs. The loader is the middleman for
opening any shared libraries.
I tried:
? open_dll("libgtk.so")
and got 0 same as you and Irv...
so I did like David said he did and tried to open /usr/lib/libgtk* all in
the same program... and much to my surprise, some nice fat values were
printed towards the end of the list.
I narrowed it down to:
? open_dll("libgtkxmhtml.so")
? open_dll("libgtk.so")
Why these two depend on each other I don't understand.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
Irv:
I seem to remember that SVGAlib required you to change something in the
makefile if you have a glibc2-based system...
Here's the output for mine:
$ ldd /lib/libvga.so
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40051000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)
