Once again ... 1.0 for the pc532 does not have shared libs "turned on".
So if you do have any *.so.* in your /usr/lib, you are on your own.

I do expect to have them enabled very soon.  I think that with gcc-2.6.1,
it will be included in NetBSD-current and that all the needed fixes
for shared libs to work reliably will be in the tree.  (Most of them are
now.)

I have not had any problem here ... but I haven't tried the "security"
version ... but those of you outside the US won't have the same "security"
set as the US so I can't help you on that! :(

I'm not sure what you are talking about here.

P.S.  Soon I will be updating the "To.Do" list in sys/arch/pc532.
I will post it to this list for those who don't keep -current sources
on their machines.
