The .so libraries should go into PKG_LIB_DIR (aka /lib in Debian) because need them at runtime, potentially from tools outside of /usr. The .a and .la libraries are purely development ones and should go into PKG_DEVLIB_DIR (aka /usr/lib in Debian) as we won't ever need them while running programs. Given that we're currently working on the xfsprogs 3.0.0 major release this might be the time to make this change. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
