Why is this? The soname for the library has been set wrongly :-( soname_spec='${libname}${release}.so$major' library_names_spec='${libname}${release}.so$versuffix ${libname}${release}.so$major ${libname}${release}.so $libname.so' Hmm. ISTR removing a `.' from the soname_spec some time ago. I am pretty sure this is fixed in HEAD... I'll probably release 1.4d shortly, since a lot of fixes have gone in since 1.4b. Cheers, Gary. > PS.
