Actually, noting having the .so or a symlink of that name suggests a broken installation. The 'pure' .so file is usually only included in the development packages, as its only necessary when building software against the shared library. Hence lacking that file, suggests that also headers are missing and possibly more things. > The find_library documentation for CMake 2.8 does not seem to specify how > NAMES can be used to specify the library extension.
