We don't. They did, by not making the link themselves.
We have to patch up their work.
In my opinion, when you install a library, you install everything:
1 Library
2 All needed symlinks
3 Header files needed to access the library.
Most distro's split this into (1) and (2 and 3). This is OK if they
supply (2 and 3) always. But SuSE does not. So they created the problem.
We must hack a solution in.
It's not RAD. A RAD like Lazarus should install on a vanilla system and
simply WORK. All this splitting up is nonsense: the header files and
symlinks take up very little space when compared to the libraries
themselves...
