Well, kdelibs src.rpm reveals that a copy of GNU libltdl is included, but configured and compiled to not support .so file extensions for shared libraries: checking which extension is used for shared libraries... That doesn't look intentional, because the corresponding part of the configure script runs sed on unexpanded variables, $libname${shared_ext} and therefore results in an empty string instead of ".so". Then, of course, it's no surprise that .so files are no even searched for. -- Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) - Linux 2.6.9-1.667 loadavg: 1.88 1.70 2.29
