Re: Path for Linux .so fies
Hello Jonas,
Linux (and other UNIX implementations) don't use the PATH environment
variable to find shared libraries. Another environment variable is used.
On HP-UX for example the environment variable is LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On other
UNIX's I think it might be LIBPATH or something like that.
If the particular environment variable for shared library location is not
defined then I think the default is to look in /lib and /usr/lib only. I
believe that by default it will not search the current directory.
Where is your library located? If you have permission on your Linux box
get the library copied to /lib and/or /usr/lib and see if you can open_dll
without the full pathname.
Good luck.
Regards,
Andy Cranston.
