Finding the library versions a library was linked against

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have a library that was compiled on an unknown Ubuntu machine, And I'd like to determine what version of Ubuntu that machine had at the compile time. My idea was to try and find the versions of different libraries used (e.g. the kernel), knowing that these versions changed with different releases. Iv'e tried using nm and ldd, but I can't seem to find any relevant info. Any suggestions? (HowTos)

I'll apologize in advance if this is obvious, but I'm new to openSUSE. I'm trying to compile a particular project that requires the library libgtkhtml-3.8, but openSUSE seems to be providing 2.11 and swears it's up-to-date. IIRC, this may be because there are two different but still-used versions of this particular library.

I have a program that I would like to distribute using autoconf. However, certain libraries that I use must be linked in. I am able to use PKG_CHECK_MODULES, but the library name is different for the windows and linux versions (ncurses and pdcurses). I want autoconf to detect which library exists, and link it with the program. Is there a way to do this?
