If so, it's DRAC's bug. The real problem is that DRAC puts its library
in a separate subdirectory. (Gary, why is that?) That effectively hides
it from the standard library search path. One must either add the
subdirectory to the system search path, or move the library up one
level to the standard directory. My solution with the dracd RPM package
was to install the library in the standard path (/usr/lib). Of course,
RPM provides an easy way to determine what package a file came from
("rpm -qif /usr/lib/libdrac.a"), so dumping it in a large directory
doesn't lose its description.
