Hi, Can you run 'scons configure' and email the output to me? It's fairly easy to make the required change, I just need to know how to determine whether it is being built on BSD on not. Cheers, Andrew On 8/31/06, David Frech wrote:

Further to this, this is true of all the BSDs. I checked the online man page interface at

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

for NetBSD and OpenBSD as well, and looked for "dlopen".

(Hmm. I didn't check DragonflyBSD. Not sure how to do this online. But since it was initially a close relative of FreeBSD, I would wager that it won't have a separate libdl either.)

HTH.

The issue, I think, is that, unlike on Linux, the dl* functions are in libc, not libdl.
