Package: ldso Version: 1.8.2-1 I've recently had problems linking programs non-statically with (e.g.) the X11 libraries, etc. Static libraries are fine, shared have problems. Upon investigation, and discussion with a friend, it appears that ld cannot find files of the form:
libfoo.so.1 libfoo.so.1.2.3 etc. - there has to be a symlink libfoo.so for libfoo to be found. Upon creating such symlinks, everything worked fine. (well, once I got rid of the /lib/libc.so => /lib/libc.so.4 link, that is :-) Oops. :) This is (IMO) a bug in the upstream sources. (I'm not sure whether this is confined to certain directories or not, especially since libc doesn't have this problem.)
