Re: What libraries

Have you tried running it in a terminal?

What I would like to know is what command I can type in to see what
libraries the program use, so I can compare the libraries between
the different operating systems.

There are three ways in which a library can be used:

- Statically linked. This would mean the library is part of the
executable, and thus wouldn't pose any problems in your case.

- Dynamically linked, by the compiler. This can be examined with
"ldd /usr/bin/program".

- Dynamically linked, by the program itself. This is done with the
dlopen() function call. If you want to find this, run the
program with "strace /usr/bin/program | grep dlopen".

Good luck on your hunt!

Hi Sybren

Thank you for the quick reply. I did run the program in a terminal, no
errors.
