Description Laslo Forro 2010-10-24 11:27:46 UTC

Hunspell 1.211 & ~1.2.12 does not create libhunspell.so in /usr/lib.
it prevents installing perl module Text::Hunspell. The module can not link the library.
Arch: x86, amd64 tested.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge hunspell
2. download and install Text::Hunspell module.

Actual Results:  
" Can't link/include 'hunspell' " error message, install & testing failure.

Expected Results:  
Install Text::Hunspell and pass tests.

Make link to /lib/libhunspell-1.2.so
ln -s /lib/hunspell-1.2.so /lib/libhunspell.so 

PS. Thanx for Cosimo Steppone for the solution (maintainer of Text::Hunspell).
