Rainer, I do not fully understand the problem here. We use libtool to solve 
exactly this problem with versioned SONAMEs. It will create symlinks to the 
SONAME.
Do you expect anyone even with dlopen() to load libfoo.o.{SOVERSION} unless it 
is strictly needed?

E.g.:
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        26 2024-03-22 10:20 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so@ -> 
../../lib/libcrypto.so.111
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       13 2024-03-22 10:20 /usr/lib/libssl.so@ -> 
libssl.so.111
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   608008 2024-03-22 10:20 /usr/lib/libssl.so.111
and so on...

Yes, I expect that! anyone is the JVM :(

The problem is, that the Java API does not care about these well thought native traditions. You can not open libssl.so.3 using System.loadlibrary(String name), because whatever you give it as "name" parameter it will always try to open libname.so. It always prepends "lib" to name and always suffixes it with plain ".so".

Yes, it might exist as the first in your list of symlinks, but on most linux distributions this link is not installed by default, because it is only needed when doing compilations. So it is only installed when you install development packages for libs.

Best regards,

Rainer
