Yes, I agree it was a bad idea for the Fedora/RHEL admin to have done this for iscsi-initiator-utils packaging. Now this exists though, the library name & ABI has to be maintained in RHEL for back-compatibility, so sadly we can't easily fix this. At the same time I really want to include your iSCSI support in Fedora/RHEL. So, IMHO, the simplest approach is to just avoid the namespace clash by calling your library libiscsiclient Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
