[mdb-dev] Invalid soname

[Mateusz L. <ma...@lo...>]

Hi,

I'm writing first time on this list, so I'm saying "Hello!" to all members.

Today, I decided to build MDB Tools on my Ubuntu 5.10 box and after I
run 'make install' command I got invalid soname of libraries and
symbolic links.

Here is step by stack trace what I did. I installex unixODBC 2.2.11 from
Ubuntu packages with /usr as a prefix.

$ ./configure --with-unixodbc=/usr
$ make
$ make instal

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libmdb*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     12 2006-05-23 22:27 /usr/local/lib/libmdb ->

As you can see, MDB Tools libraries have invalid soname.
Accordint to odbcinst.ini definition of MDB driver, I had to create symlink:

$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmdbodbc.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libmdbodbc.so.0

Is this known issue or I did something wrong?
