Summary: what changed in .so files from 2.0 to 2.0.5

Hi all,

Did something change in the shared libraries between 2.0 and 2.0.5? I've
been playing with BRLCAD, a solid modeler from the U. S. Army's 
Ballistics Research Laboratory on a 2.0 system and it works fine,
thanks to a compile script supplied by someone whose name I'll admit
forgetting, but without whose help I'd be completely stuck.

When I take the same source tree over to a 2.0.5 system most of it compiles
(with one probably unrelated error).

However, when I try to run mged (the primary editing tool, which compiles
without any obvious error) the run aborts with:

ld.so: mged: libpkg.so.11.1: Undefined error: 0

If there's been a structural change in the shared libraries (that _is_
what the .so means, isn't it?) what's the fix? Eventually I hope to 
upgrade the system to 2.1 and would like to keep BRLCAD working.
thanks

bob
