If somehow libraries are ok, then the main page should be modified to contain a working example which specifies exactly how one can successfully compile (it gives no clue). jakub@gentoo.org 2007-12-02 09:36:50 0000 Stupid bugzilla, how did this get resolved... spock@gentoo.org 2008-07-23 20:36:20 0000 The library is OK, but only a statically linked version of it is provided. I updated the manpage so that it includes a note about it.
