You should make the links yourself in debian/rules, since the make install is running ldconfig. So, copy the libblah.so.1.2.3 in debian/rules to debian/tmp/usr/lib/ then ln -s libblah.so.1.2.3 debian/tmp/usr/lib/libblah.so.1 . Then, in the libblah-dev target of debian/rules, you should ln -s libblah.so.1.2.3 debian/libblah-dev/usr/lib/libblah.so . Ben -- Brought to you by the letters M and T and the number 9. "Johnny!
