Loader Not Using Newer Library Version



I'm compiling my dylib as follows:

gcc -dynamiclib -current_version 0.8.25 \
   src/f1.pic.o src/f2.pic.o s -o libfoo.0.8.25.dylib

and installing it in /usr/local/lib like:

-rwxr-xr-x  libfoo.0.8.25.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  libfoo.0.8.dylib -> libfoo.0.8.25.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  libfoo.dylib -> libfoo.0.8.25.dylib
-rw-r--r--  libfoo.a

But when I increment the version, programs compiled with an older version
will not load:

  $ ./test
  dyld: ./test can't open library: libfoo.0.8.24.dylib
        (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
  Trace/BPT trap

I have tried several permutations of -compatibility_version and
-install_name with no effect.

How does one create a shared library so that the loader will accept a
newer library version provided it is not less than X.Y.Z?

Thanks,
Mike
