Linking shared library to static library

[cbnatl]

I am trying to build a shared library in Solaris using Forte C++. I need to be able to link the objects to a static third party library.
ex.
CC -G -o mylib.so -Kpic myfile.o -lsocket -lthread -lpthread -lcurses -lthirdpartystaticlib

If I use the above compiler command, it successfully builds the library. However, I get a library not found exception at runtime. If I do not include the thirdparty library, the shared library successfully builds but I get unresolved external errors at runtime (which I would expect).

I also attempted to remove all of the object files from the third party library and link directly with them rather than linking to their library. This did not work either. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
Chris

cbnatl,

You need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the directory in which your mylib.so is located. I suspect that the problem is not associated with the third party library.

Hope this helps.

It is set correctly. If I do not link with the Third Party library (which is not a shared library). The library is able to load, but if I link with the static library, then the library is not found (with the same LD_LIBRARY_PATH and location).
