plugin loads, but crash in shared library

[Brad Fuller]

Hi All,

I now assuming that I'm not linking the shared library correctly. Is 
there anything special that I need to understand and do with an external 
plugin calling a shared library? (i know, wide open question, sorry)

I built the shared library, but it's built from the vendor's makefile 
and works perfectly fine as is. As mentioned in a previous msg, other 
apps can call this shared library fine with no problem.

Maybe the library is linked incorrectly? However, there are no undefined 
references so something is finding the symbol.

Here is the output of the makefile relevant to linking:

/bin/sh /home/bfuller/projects/squeak/branches/platforms/unix/libtool 
--mode=link gcc -g -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLSB_FIRST=1    
-avoid-version -module -rpath /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.7-7 -o 
SoundPAPlugin.la SoundPAPlugin.lo patest_sine.lo 
-Wl,/usr/local/lib/libportaudio.so

(if you've been following this saga, I couldn't get the Makefile.inc to 
be recognized so I manually edited the Makefile to include this shared 
library for resolving references)

 libtool/gcc experts: does that look right?  Do I need to also add a 
runtime switch for the library at /usr/local/lib? -rpath?
The environment var "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" is set to /usr/local/lib -- I 
assumed this was enough.

Or, maybe I'm linking the shared library all wrong.

Any pointers  or docs would be helpful and appreciated.
