Hi, Thanks for the reply. Maybe I misunderstand but I though, on Linux, the run-time linker had a set of search paths to look for shared libraries? Best Regards, Simon. On 14 Jan 2008, at 13:37, Matrix Mole wrote:

~From my understanding, this is typical behavior on just about any platform that has software compiled with shared library support. When a binary file is compiled, during the configuration step there is usually an option that determines the shard library path. If you wanted to change the location of shared libraries you'd have to re-run the configure script with the new library directory and then recompile the software.
