It was not possible to use dynamic loading of modules because of "wrong" linker-options (or better "wrong linker ;-) ). The first "ld" found in my PATH was the gnuish version, and for this version "-shared" was needed instead of "-G" to link shared objects. I think a workaround will be to test for gnu-ld or to use "/usr/ccs/bin/ld" as linker in case of a solaris system. I think, this is a problem of the autoconf-version you use for generating the config-files... I solved my problem with patching the configure-script (which is not a clean aolution...). Does anybody know a better solution? ciao, Juergen Ilse (ilse@asys-h.de)
