I think this is actually a kernel bug; the binary this make command builds should try to link to some "soname" such as "libXi.so.6" instead, shouldn't it? The work-around was to manually create the missing symlink for "libXi.so". I suspect other distro's install that symlink automatically so maybe that's why the bug was not discovered. But I believe it is correct to say all applications should use a soname (including the major version number), and not just the "linker" name (the name ending in ".so" with no version numbers). Or am I missing something? -- Wayne Pollock -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
