Hi Scott,

I have an executable that loads shared libraries. I compiled with "-g
-pg" and then I ran gprof on the gmon.out file. I don't see any of the
shared libraries that the program loaded in my gprof output. How do
you profile shared libraries?

It seems that this is no longer possible. :-( Perhaps you could try another profiling tool (eg oprofile) or else using static libraries.

Cheers
  Nick
