It looks like the issue is very specific to Ubuntu's patched Cmake 2.8.5. I'm working with some guys from Cmake online and the pure 2.8.5 release doesn't exhibit the problem [1]. > So I'm not sure if it's still present on later Ubuntu versions - I'm > pretty sure Rob Godfrey runs Ubuntu 12.something so he might know. I'll try updating my VM to 12.04 and see if the problem still exists. If so, I'll file a bug with them regarding it. Otherwise, I'll kick it back and WONTFIX. [1] The bottom line is this: Ubuntu 11.10 patched CMake 2.8.5 cannot find a library file that doesn't end in .so; i.e., Perl says it's library name is "libperl.so.5.14.2" on Ubuntu 11.10, but Cmake can't find that. If I hard code the filename to be "libperl.so" then it finds the file each time. -- Darryl L. Pierce, Sr. Software Engineer @ Red Hat, Inc. Delivering value year after year.
