I've been having perplexing difficulties with certain packages (fvwm, and now
tk) that "cannot load libfoo.so.N", and I've noted that others have similar
problems. I got to reading the ELF-Howto last night, and finally began to
wonder why there are now two DLL loaders. Does each *exclusively* load one
type of DLL? Do I have to have each library in both forms, if I have both
kinds of programs on my system? I haven't found any document that clearly
confirms or denies this.
(Other bizarre symptoms include ldd's insistence that libraries which are
present, in directories named in ld.so.conf, "could not be found". If I drop a
symlink into /lib then the complaint changes to "not an ELF library". This is
in the case of precompiled wish (ELF) which is attempting to load precompiled
XFree86 3.11 libX11 (non-ELF).)
