R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Are you sure it isn't your Fedora installation that has the problem? My understanding is that the linker name (the libxxx.so name) should exist and be a symbolic link to the most recent soname (libxxx.N). So I think distutils is doing the right thing.
See for example http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html, the first section of which (I didn't read the whole thing) matches my understanding of how this works. Do you have any doc pointers that says Fedora doesn't work this way? (Note that the libxxx.so linker name may not be in the same directory as the sonames or the actual library files.) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray priority: -> normal _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5674> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
