i would say that Debian has a pretty well established system to avoid breakage of applications due to library incompatibilities. part of this scheme is to rename library packages (e.g. "libMagick++4" vs "libMagick++5") if and only if the two libraries are binary incompatible. usually this means that some previously exported symbols have vanished in the newer version. a specific application might not use those symbols at all and would thus not be affected by the incompatibility. but using symlinks (system-wide!) is certainly the right approach to break your system, and thus should be avoided. there are two solutions for this problem: - ship all dependencies (the w32 and OSX way) - link against the proper libraries (the linux distro way) fgmadrt IOhannes _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
