But when more and more applications von *nix world get ported, the problem might arise again. And another important feature of shared libraries is, that when some lib is updated, importing programs dont have to be recompiled. What's the Plan9 solution here ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 174 7066481 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
