Default Re: how can I find shared libraries?

Replying to myself here but is it maybe so that I need an pkgmanager like
apt, rpm or so? Or are the slackware tools better, like Slacker or XPKGTOOL?
Which one is recommended?

I found a package listing of xfree86-devel-4.3.0-i486-3 on this adress
http://wwwacs.gantep.edu.tr/docs/pac...l-4.3.0-i486-3

It indicated that a file libXrandr.a would be installed usr/X11R6/lib/ so I
installed this package and it seemed to work but firefox needed
libXrandr.so.2 so it didn't help.

I am pretyt sure I am doing this the complete backwards way but I don't know
what the right way is.

Tim
