Found this in Ubuntu bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-db/+bug/238500
Even though there are symlinks for each library but the SONAME differs for all on Ubuntu and any other Linux distribution. On Ubuntu objdump -p /usr/lib/libnss3.so | grep SONAME gives libnss3.so.1d where as on Suse (or probably many other Linux) its libnss3.so, so the problem that I face is obvious, though it works the opposite way (Building on Suse and running it on Ubuntu). I don't know whom to blame :-) I guess probably not use ubuntu for building.

Fortunately, our convention of inserting the major version "3" in our shared library names avoid most naming conflicts with Name Service Switch's libraries (and OpenSSL's SSL library). So you can eliminate anything that doesn't match the pattern lib*3.so* from your list. We're now left with: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-07-17 16:47 libnss3.so -> libnss3.so.1d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-07-17 16:47 libnss3.so.0d -> libnss3.so.1d -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1156684 2008-05-29 02:52 libnss3.so.1d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2008-07-17 16:47 libnssutil3.so -> libnssutil3.so.1d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2008-07-17 16:47 libnssutil3.so.0d -> libnssutil3.so.1d I don't know what "0d" and "1d" stand for, but many Unix platforms and Linux have the convention of adding the major (and minor) version number as suffix after the ".so". So "0d" and "1d" might mean some additional version numbers that Ubuntu assigned to their NSS builds. But as you can see from the directory listing, they set up symbolic links so that you can just use libnss3.so and libnssutil3.so as you do on your SUSE box. Finally, regarding the nss packages: libnss3-0d libnss3-1d libnss3-1d-dbg libnss3-dev The libnss3-dev package is a developer package that gives you the header files. It is equivalent to what's usually called an SDK. The other packages, I guess, are the runtime package that contains only the .so's. I guess libnss3-1d-dbg is a debug build.
