Hi,

It is.  Apparently upstream believes it shouldn't be used as a shared lib 
though.  Here is a
response I got on the forum:

"It was removed quite some time ago. Compiling Chipmunk as a shared library is 
*not* recommended.
Since version differences can cause a slight change in the simulation behavior 
due to floating point
rounding issues, substituting a dynamic library can cause things to break. 
Secondly, I also don't
specifically maintain binary compatibility between Chipmunk versions. On 
occasions, I've added new
fields to structs for instance.

Instead, I've always recommended compiling Chipmunk as a static library. Since 
it's such a tiny
library and it's very unlikely to be running more than one process using 
Chipmunk at a time, there
is little to no benefit of having it as a shared library anyway."

I may just bump the Debian SOVERSION that Miriam set in the last package and 
let the chips fall
where they may.

Thanks,
