UNIX. Using Solaris lib in AIX

[Stanislav]

Ну не обязательно - должен. Он может сказать - поставляется "ас ис" и гоу ту нафик...

When I say "must" I mean the library must be recompiled by somebody, otherwise it will not work.
They will not provide the source code. And they will recompile the lib because it cost more than 10000$. They are kind of interesting in that.

Ыыыыы... хорошая либа....

Ага, они держат монополию на лучший алгоритм сжатия изображений - MrSID. Сжатие 20:1 без видимых искажений. А мне а Oracle GeoRaster террабайт так 20 надо загрузить.

А вам конкретно растр нужен?
Можно рендерить векторную БД.
Можно не жать, а порезать на плитки растр.

Try objdump on it to find out symbols. Also, u can try to link to this library and see what happens (e.g. can you call an api from it).
In general this thing should not work as there can be too many dependencies

Ok. Summary:
1) The vendor must recompilr the library.
2) The vendor can do it even they don't have RISC computer with AIX.

Is that correct?

P.S. Finally I got "в репе" - in repository.

I would suggest to provide vendor with your AIX maintenance level number (or TL number ?), so they will link against proper system libs (assuming all your AIXes has same OS and same maintenance level).
