Dale,

That *cannot* be the only option for arbitrary external libraries - that will break things like odbc, or at best force people to create links in order to compensate.  Hopefully, you are thinking of plugins.

Bill,

I haven't followed your trials and tribulations with libraries, but I do know that starting with version 3.11-3 of the Squeak vm(see 'http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2009-September/003206.html'), the naming conventions for dynamically loaded files was changed to use a _leading_ so. instead of a trailing .so....

| Hello all,
|
