Thanks, yes it seems that the lintian error means what you're saying. http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Tsharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib.html) > > So, you need to edit the build system (or ask > upstream) to > make gcc have an option like > "-Wl,-soname,libmaserver.so.1". aha I see.

It does not give any warning in that sense, but thanks for the info, I'll try to find out about that. > Also, do you actually need that link? Hmm.

I don't think it really needs that link, but the make install process does it that way, and probably it makes sense. I could make the library name has just .so ending, but I just didn't see the need for changing that. If I can not put that .so inside the package, the other solution might be getting 3 packages from maserver: libmaserver, libmaserver-dev and maserver itself. libmaserver would have the shared library and libmaserver-dev the header files to make new plugins. Would that be better? > Cheers, > Justin Thanks :) Greetinga, Miry ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ˇ250 MB GRATIS!
