Re: [darwin] building shared libraries (.so) instead of dynamic libraries.

[dev . admin]

Hey guys,

After getting round to testing some other EV,
it does turn out to be the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable that points to the shared .so libs.

I thought it had to end in .dylib for it to
work but it seems to work with .so libs as well.

Thanks for your help.

A.

In the past, there was the problem that it could not open dynamic  
libraries ending on .dylib - had to be .so. Guile calls libtools that  
is doing these lookups.
