[maemo-developers] Error while loading shared library

[From: Kees Jongenburger]

Hi

you can first try if it works by exporting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the
directory where you .so file is located.

It is very normal for applications and shared libraries to get
installed under the /usr diirectory and that one is usualy not
writable by normal "users".Iif you create a .deb file it will be run
and installed as the root user. So the permission denied is "normal".
If you want to compile "static" against the lib remove the
-lmylib options and replace it with a ".a"(archive)  file.

hope this helps
