Psppire library files

[John Darrington]

When you run  "make install", the target directory gets (amoungst
other things):

$ ls
bin  etc  lib  share

$ ls -R bin
bin:
pspp  psppire

$ ls -Rl lib
lib:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 jmd res 4096 2007-04-04 16:05 pspp

lib/pspp:
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 jmd res 12062 2007-04-04 16:05 libpsppire.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmd res   954 2007-04-04 16:05 libpsppire.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jmd res    19 2007-04-04 16:05 libpsppire.so ->libpsppire.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jmd res    19 2007-04-04 16:05 libpsppire.so.0

This shared library libpsppire.so, contains the custom widgets used
for many of the dialog boxes which should appear the menu items are
selected, and is dynamically loaded at runtime.

It seems that your w32 version isn't doing this dynamic loading.
Hence it's crashing when these menu items are selected.

I don't know why it's failing to load this library.  Perhaps it needs
a runtime parameter to be set? perhaps the library hasn't been
installed?   There's a thing called "dlltool" which comes with GNU
binutils and is used for creating DLL files, but I'm not too sure how
to use it.  Maybe you know ...
