by It seems that the xforms library (0.88 to be specific) was not built
with the -soname option. I beleive this is the case because when I ran
ldconfig after installing the libforms.so.0.88 binary, it did *not*
create a link for libforms.so.0 and libforms.so as it would had
-soname been used. I got the following ldconfig output;
# ldconfig -v /usr/X11R6/lib
ldconfig: version 1.7.14
/usr/X11R6/lib:
libforms.so.0.88 => libforms.so.0.88
... etc. ...
OK, so my question is the following; Can I create the links for
libforms.so, libforms.so.0 by hand, or was the soname left out for a
reason (ie: the library internals have not yet stabilized?) (BTW,
xforms is distributed in binary form only, so a recompile is not
possible, for me that is).
Best Regards, John
