Quoting David Reiser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

And the latest comment from Peter:
"Heh, I bet they still ahve a configure check for darwin that does a sed
on the generated libtool script to always build dylibs. I added that
years ago, and it always worked because I controlled how things were
loaded etc by being fink's maintainer of libtool and guile etc.

It is probably time to remove that hack now :)"

Yeah, I think we left that in there...

So I commented out his sed patch (diff attached), and r14287 configures, compiles, and runs without the post install symlink.

Good news.

I take it that Peter's comment about hoping nothing puts -lfoo on the link line means that it's the .so which will cause my system to barf if some other routine tries to link to it?

Yes, that's what it means..  Unfortunately right now there IS something
that does, but it's relatively easy to fix if we just split the .so
into two parts, a shared library and the loadable module.
