Profiling shared libraries

[Krisztian]

Hi !

I tried to profile a shared library under Linux with the following commands:

getting the shared library in this way:

cc -g -O -I /usr/include -c /usr/prog/file1.c

........................................................
........................................................

ld -shared ./libapi.so -o ./file1.o ./file2.o ./file3.o
cp libapi.so /lib

and getting the executable in this way:

cc -g -O ./file4.o ./file5.o -o ./executable -lapi


after that I set the environment variable LD_PROFILE in order to profile the shared library libapi.so in this way:
$:LD_PROFILE=libapi.so  ./executable
$:executable: profiler found no PLTREL in object /lib/libapi.so

Does anybody why the profiler found no PLTREL in the libapi.so shared library????
