File name case sensitivity on Linux? Or some database declarations in the
ported database still referring to 'FreeUDFLib'? Actually, for
consistency, the Win and Linux libs should have the same main "filename
stub", viz. freeudflib.dll on Windows freeudflib.so on Linux, so you won't
have to drop and redeclare functions when you transport the database.
