Why? Doesn't the makefile install the library correctly? Or perhaps you only need to run "ldconfig -n ..." to add missing symlinks? One reason why I ask these questions is that several packagers prefer hardcoded sonames in spec files, so they won't build soname bumps accidentally. For hardcoded sonames in spec files, the build would fail as an early-warning system. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
