Anyways, to use Behnam's python module, you will have to install libfribidi-dev, which installs a libfribidi.so symlink to libfribidi.so.0 hello friend, thank you for your answer. indeed, i should have remembered that only -dev packages have the .so$ lib. and libfreebidi-dev is no exception. np you closed the bug. curiously ctypes.CDLL complains it can't find it, probably due to a clash. as of behdad's interface to fribidi, it provides wider functionality exposure than pyfribidi. i turned to his interface since i missed that functionality in pyfribidi. thanks again. -- best regards, alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
