building shared libraries

[Andrew J. Schorr]

Concerning my previous post: I have now succeeded in getting
the program to find the shared library at run-time.  Unfortunately,
I now get the following error:

   Could not load program test_program 
   Could not load library libtest.0.1.a[shared_object.o]
   Error was: Exec format error

Presumably I am building the shared object incorrectly.  Can
anyone indicate the problem with the build procedure that I
outlined in my previous message?

Thanks for your help,
Andy
