Why is it called libtar1 when it provides libtar.so-1.2 ? Also you only have -release 1.2 as the LDFLAGS option. There is no soname ? How about specifying -version-info ? I would drop the -release, and use -version-info 1:0:0 or something like that. But I would start with discussing with upstream to fix the current behavior. It will probably lack a lot of cross-distribution binary portability. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Junichi Uekawa http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer GPG Fingerprint : 17D6 120E 4455 1832 9423 7447 3059 BF92 CD37 56F4
