Re: Uploaded to CVS. Requesting help

I tried to check, but SourceForge's CVS is messed up right now. the
"Browse CVS" link gives an internal server error, and now the
commandline CVS checkout demands a password even thought it's anonymous
(pressing return doesn't help, it really wants something.)

I bet it has something to do with the way you linked it. Did you use the
"-shared" option? If dlopen() isn't getting anything then the library
wasn't properly built. See the section on compiling in the OXAPI manual.
Also, someone else had a problem compiling C++ machines, but we found
out that it was related to his installation and others didn't have a
problem.

Let me know what happens... I will look at the code/makefile as soon as
sourceforge is back up. Also I'm going to add a call to dlerror() as
Arthur suggested a while back, so that there is a human-readable error
message about what happened.
