When you link software to libSDL_gfx using the -lSDL_gfx flag, your binary gets linked to libSDL_gfx.so.4, which is the SONAME of the library. The libSDL_gfx.so symlink is only required at build time. What software have you seen that requires libSDL_gfx.so? -- Sam. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
