I'm a little confused by this; other than the default path, I don't
think we changed
changed anything related to this from the most recent version that you
tested.

Here are two additional questions:

1)  Does libmemutil.so exist on your system?  If so, does the *elephant-
lib-path*
correctly point to it?

2)  If you run "make", does it not build libmemutil.so?

I suspect this is more an installation/path issue than a problem.  The
released version
is only slightly different than the version you tested a few days ago.

The new sleepycat libraries are built with .dylib extension for Mac OSX.
However, when I launch OpenMCL, it complaints that it cannot find
libmemutil.so and does not even look for libmemutil.dylib.


It looks like the actual elephant library is not synchronized with the
Makefile, or something like that.


Thanks,
Waldo
