I know nothing about sonames, but this page http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html makes it clear that version-info should become 6:0:0, if we're at 5:1:4 now. -- Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
