How to see (dynamically) imported libraries?

G00fy · 04-30-2007, 05:08 AM

Hi,

I have a ".a" file (more specifically a libcurl.a file) on my system.
But I want to know what files are needed to run this library (like idn, gssapi, ...).

What command can I use to check which libraries are dynamically imported? (statically doesn't matter because they are imported into the executable if I'm correct).

Thanks,
Steven

something like this you mean...?

Code:

[root@server ~]# ldd /bin/sh
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x00995000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x007dd000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x006b2000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00699000)

Yep, something alike, but then for static libraries...

steven@sqlbe:~/curl/curl-7.16.2/lib/.libs$ ldd libcurl.a
not a dynamic executable

Thanks already
