JNA uses dlopen(name, RTLD_LAZY)

hi,

i've been trying to apply JNA to one of our legacy .so's .

this main.so is loading, in turn, other.so and the later is using symbols of the former. the way to do that, in the calling c code, was to load main.so globally (RTLD_GLOBAL), so the main's symbols are available to other's code.

so, i've tries to load one.so through JNA. it complains that dlopen() with other.so can't find one of main's symbol. well, it makes sense, since main.so wans't loaded into the JVM *globally*. is there a way to control that? couldn't find a place to pass that flag...

btw - does JNA uses RTLD_LAZY too?

thanks, asaf :-)
