libs

[ryan goldberg <rgoldber@d.umn.edu>]

I run into this problem quite a few times.  I want to install something,
and it wants libfoo.so.1, and I've got libfoo.so.2.  The ./configure
script fails, (or make sometimes) or the rpm balks.  I've tried using
symlinks "ln -s libfoo.so.2 libfoo.so.1" and of course then running
ldconfig.  This never works.  Do you folks run into this problem?  It
seems that most people would along the way somewhere.  Maybe I'm just
dense.

-ryan           be kind.
