As and aside on this whole mess and before I blow my brains out (just kidding, I think) I tried starting the whole mess over and setting the version to 0:0:0 after doing a 'make maintainer-clean'.
Well, everything compiled and looked OK when installed in /usr/local/lib libproject.a libproject.la libproject.so libproject.so.0 libproject.so.0.0.0 BUT!! Now when I try to recompile any application and execute I get the happy message: ./geodesic: error while loading shared libraries: libproject.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory It did work before and /usr/local/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf. Oh yes, in using applications, the HAVE_MALLOC gets turned off in config.h and #define malloc rpl_malloc gets inserted which the linker can't find---I edited out the config.h so I could get an executable. ---- but that is a different problem --- I think(?). This whole thing is enough to drive one over the edge!! This is enough for one day, I'm just waiting for the Daily Show to get some sanity back. -- The whole religious complexion of the modern world is due to the absence from Jerusalem of a lunatic asylum. -- Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) British psychologist
