| |
The "make xconfig" command tried to link to "libXi.so". I think this is actually a kernel bug; the binary this make command builds should try to link to some "soname" such as "libXi.so.6" instead, shouldn't it?
The work-around was to manually create the missing symlink for "libXi.so". I suspect other distro's install that symlink automatically so maybe that's why the bug was not discovered. But I believe it is correct to say all applications should use a soname (including the major version number), and not just the "linker" name (the name ending in ".so" with no version numbers).
Or am I missing something?
