Does cloog-0.15.9 check for the exact version, rather than using something like AS_VERSION_COMPARE and checking for a minimum version? Has that been addressed in the cloog sources since? > it presents > an opportunity to do a soversion bump and a cloog-0.16 release > which would require ppl-0.11 as the minimum required ppl.

I don't mind, but it's a good idea to ensure that for the next major version bump of ppl things are prepared to (hopefully) not require cascades of major bumps more than necessary. Cheers, Ralf
