Hi, |

I thought I had a fairly good understanding of how shared libs and lib |
| 4 |
seelction works in Linux - good enough to know what compile options to |
| 5 |
use, etc. But it seems that was a wrong assumption. |
| 6 |
|

I'm trying to get a third party binary app (Sybase database ASE-15) to |
| 8 |
run on Gentoo and it's proving to be ... difficult. Previously, it |
| 9 |
would run if lib-compat was installed, but no more - I get mysterious |
| 10 |
seg fault errors. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My system is currently ~x86 and up to date, especially glibc-2.5. Sybase |
| 13 |
expects 2.3.something and while I understand that it needs compatible |
| 14 |
libraries installed, I find I don't know enough to determine exactly |
| 15 |
which libs will be used on my system. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So I need some docs. I badly want to RTFM, I'm just having some trouble |
| 18 |
finding the correct M to R. Google and gentoo.org lead me to either |
| 19 |
very basic stuff that I already know, or way too complex docs suitable |
| 20 |
for developers. I want something in between, on a level for an ebuild |
| 21 |
maintainer that tells me how ld, libtool and the tool chain works and |
| 22 |
how to determine the differences between glibc versions to I can get |
| 23 |
this critter to work, and know why it then works. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Anyone got any good/suitable links to share? |

p.s. please please please no replies to tell me to tell the vendor to |
| 30 |
recompile the app or release the source. That ain't gonna happen |
| 31 |
anytime soon. I know this because one of my other addresses is |
| 32 |
@sybase.co.za :-) |
