Hi All,
I created the Shared Object file using
g++ -shared -fPIC myprog.cpp -o myso.so
.so file is created.
But i don't know how to link this to my client program......
Pls explain this......
Thanks

# Build object file
g++ -c sharedFile1.cpp
# Build shared library
g++ -shared -o libshared.so sharedFile1.o
# Link executable against shared library
g++ main.cpp -L./ -lshared
# Before you can run the executable you need to put the library where
# the dynamic loader can find it.
# options are /lib
# or set environement variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .

Why does linux require libraries on run time? Is there a way to fix this so programs are easier to distribute?

Umm, the point is that they are dynamic. :P
If you don't want that, then just use static libraries (which always isn't available though).
