how does linker choose version of shared lib?

[Steve Jaffe]

To be specific: I have two versions of libssl in /lib: libssl.so.4 and
libssl.so.6.  What happens is that the .so.4 version is always linked --
what determines this behavior? (and how could one therefore change it, ie
specify which version to choose?)

Here's what happens: Notice I'm doing nothing but linking libssl to an empty
library so there are no other dependencies that could affect the result.

g++ foo.so -shared -lssl
ldd foo.so |grep ssl
	libssl.so.4 => /lib/libssl.so.4 (0xf7f04000)
