SharedCLibrary (Clib)

The SharedCLibrary is a RISC OS module that provides a set of standard libraries for applications written in C. There are a number of different versions of this module which have slightly different features. The RISC OS boot sequence contains a !System folder that stores all the modules, including different versions of the SharedCLibrary.

When an application needs a particular version of the SharedCLibrary it will ask RISC OS to search the !System folder for the module and then load it. If the particular version of the SharedCLibrary is not found the application will display an error message and then quit. All of the modules (including SharedCLibrary) that the applications bundled with VirtualRPC need that are already inside the !System folder. So the only time you should see an error message related to the SharedCLibrary is when running an application that you have downloaded yourself.

You will need to contact the developer of the application concerned as they should either supply the appropriate set of modules (including SharedCLibrary) or tell you where these modules can be downloaded. If you cannot contact the developer you can try downloading and installing an updated set of !System modules from Iyonix.com.
