Problem with Shared Library Archives

[Brian Robinson <brobinso at caleb dot ist dot ucf dot edu>]

	I'm trying to make an archive of some shared libraries I made, but I
can't seem to get it to work correctly.  I'm using gcc on Red Hat 6, but I'd
also like to get it to work using gcc on Irix.  The problem I'm having is
that the executable wants to use the original .so files to link at runtime
rather than the .a archive I created, even though I linked with the .a
file.

	Here's part of the makefile I'm using:

CXX = g++ 
ARCHIVES = libsay1.a libsay2.a 
S1 = hello1.so bye1.so 
S2 = hello2.so bye2.so 
OBJECTS = main.o 
APPNAME = test 

all :  $(OBJECTS) $(ARCHIVES)
	cp libsay2.a libsay.a
	rm *.so
	${CXX} $(OBJECTS) libsay.a -fpic -o $(APPNAME) 

%.o:%.c
	${CXX} -fpic -c $< %.so:%.o
	${CXX} -shared -o $@ -fpic $< 

libsay1.a: $(S1)
	ar -rs $@ $(S1) 

libsay2.a: $(S2)
	ar -rs $@ $(S2)


	There are two different sets of libraries because I wanted to
test how the program would work if I switched out one library and swapped
in another.  Here's the error message I get in Irix:

Fatal Error: Cannot Successfully map soname 'bye2.so' under any of the filenames...

	And here's the one from Linux:

test: error in loading shared libraries: hello2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

	Any help would be appreciated.
