Hey wait a minute! I'm not saying I know what I'm necessarily
talking about here. I was only stating that I generally recommend that a
program X (which is part of gEDA/gaf) should be used with a library that
has the same version as X. That is always guaranteed to work, always.
As for this specific circumstance, if the ABI has changed, then
I should not have used 31:1:0 for libgeda's version. An assumption that
I made was that the ABI did not change (yet it did). The fix for this
is to either remove the ABI incompatible change (or fix in in an ABI
friendly way) or change the so major number correctly.
The opportunity to do a fix is now since I will be doing a 1.3.1
real soon (as soon as I know that gaf builds on FC6).
