The problem is that there is code out there that only wants to look for the .so files (no -dev packages installed) and fail to find libsoftokn3.so and libfreebl3.so Is there a way to [easily?] force these two libraries to be packaged into nss-XXX.ipk? My current workaround is to use a post-install script to create the .so files from the .so.1oe files for these two libraries. It gets my code (chromium-11 browser!) to work, but it's not very satisfying. Any ideas?
