Ah, "non-standard" is the key. So when using a prefix of /usr, which is standard, the path is *not* added in the executable, so the it searches the normal paths and /usr/local/lib happens to be in the search path before /usr/lib. In other words, nothing is broken. > > dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: could not find any packages for > > /usr/local/lib/libswish-e.so.2 (libswish-e.so.2) > > > > dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared > > library libswish-e (soname 2, path /usr/local/lib/libswish-e.so.2, > > dependency field Depends) > [...] > > You are probably looking for something like > dh_shlibdeps -ldebian/libswish-e/usr/lib I guess I don't understand what those messages are referring to. Dependencies as in Debian packages (e.g. package swish-e depends on package libswish-e)? My guess is dpkg-shlibdeps is just looking at the ldd output and then making sure those libs are listed as depends. If that's the case then I would need to say that libswish-e is not a dependency, or a dependency that is me by the swish-e package itself. Is that possible? I don't intend on building a separate package just for libswish-e. > You haven't read the library packaging guide > http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/ > have you? Nope, just ran dh_make from the basic howto. Will read now, though. Thanks, -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
