Description Richard Torkar 2002-07-04 13:19:21 UTC

< gbevin@gentoo.org made the ebuild I'm bitching about ;) >

I did an emerge libelf and it seemed to compile and install nicely.
But for some reason it does not install the shared library libelf.so.0.8.2 and
the two soft links libelf.so and libelf.so.0

I see two things that goes wrong, during the configure phase.

1. checking host system type... Invalid configuration `i686-pc-linux-gnu':
machine `i686-pc-linux' not recognized

2. configure: warning: shared libraries not supported for

The shared libraries are compiled though, but not installed...
I dunno if the above mentioned problems has anything to do with the libraries
not being installed.

And another thing. The libelf library is up at 0.8.2 now, but that is something
I can fix when this problem is sorted out.

Seems somebody did fix the shared lib thing some time back without commenting
in the ChangeLog.  Just bumped the version to fully fix this bug.
