[ferret_users] Re: Error message with New Ferret Static Version

["Kevin O'Brien" <Kevin.M.O'Brien@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve -

If you are getting that error message, chances are that you're not 
invoking the static version of Ferret.  Try doing a "which ferret" and 
see what executable is listed .  My guess is that by default you are 
invoking the shared-library version of Ferret.    If you want the 
default "ferret"command to be the static version, you'll want to make 
sure $FER_DIR/bin/ferret is a link to the static version (which for v581 
would by default be called ferret_v581_static).
