presumably cross compiled for the correct processor
if it can  - any ideas on how to install and access it?

Copy it to /usr/lib ? (you must have rooted device for this), but I
guess copy it in some empty folder + export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/thatfolder can work too (from terminal).

How can someone run a .so file? libraries export routines to other
applications, they are not supposed to be "run". You can run linux
executables in Android, however.

@felipemdc, you mean non-gui linux executables I guess.

yes they are text based .so's
and yes I know you dont "run" a .so

I wrote these a few years ago and was just wondering if I could
translate for Android use.

Would I have any trouble passing the (ansi text only) output up for
use
with the android gui?
And conversely talking to them from android by passing text to them?
I cant think of any issues but I'm not at all experience with android
appart from getting the hello world example here running.
