Hi Tom,
Thanks for the tip, I altered the gcc invocation as follows:
Here are the two gcc invocations originally creating the shared library:
gcc -Wall -fPIC -c mylibrary.c -o mylibrary.o \
-I $(A) -I $(B) -I $(C) -I $(E) -lhdfs
gcc -I $(A) -I $(B) -I $(C) -I $(E) -shared\
-Wl,-soname,mylibrary.so -o mylibrary.so mylibrary.o
#############################
Here's the new invocations: I added "-lhdfs" to the second gcc invocation.
gcc -I $(A) -I $(B) -I $(C) -I $(E) -shared\
-lhdfs -Wl,-soname,mylibrary.so -o mylibrary.so mylibrary.o
Now I can see the libraries!
ldd mylibrary.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff499c5000)
libhdfs.so.0 => /usr/lib/libhdfs.so.0 (0x00007f44e4739000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f44e43b6000)
libjvm.so => /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-
openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so (0x00007f44e3866000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f44e3662000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f44e3445000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f44e4b66000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f44e31c1000)
