    Hi,

    I have an application running on AIX. The app is deployed on Webspshere server. Due to some reason, i have to make use of a third party library (Siagr API's) from my application. This library requires an .so file as well.
    Is there any location where i can put this *.so file and it will be read or loaded by the app server automatically or there is some specific procedure we need to follow for this
    Request you to tell me how to load / link / install this .so file. The name of the so file is libsigar-ppc-aix-5.so?

    Thanks

    There is a Unix command to show what libraries a binary is using ldd, run this against the app server to see which .so it is picking up. You should be then able to alter the LIBPATH variable so it searches your directory containing the new .so before searching the standard library paths
