This is done by defining a fixed memory location where a given library will be loaded. In order for this to work you need at least to compile the libraries with a two-level namespace and keep track of all libraries potentially loaded with your system. When porting s/w to mac os x it is much easier to stay in a flat namespace which is standard on most (all?) other systems. In addition the address space management is not trivial. The fink developers (http://fink.sf.net ) are currently working on a solution to automate this process for s/w ported from other unixes. For the time being we have to live with the fact that the starting of not prebound programs takes a bit longer than of prebound ones. Otherwise there is no difference. > and > > warning dynamic shared library: > /Users/fisherps/Desktop/lib/libCint.dylib > not made a weak library in output. That's a minor bug in the dec developer tools. The long answer is here: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1233.html . The short answer is: don't worry about them. Hope that helps.
