Here's a specific example: sci-mathematics/pari-2.3.4-r1. It has a |
| 6 |
hand-written Configure script (not configure). It searches for |
| 7 |
libreadline.so in a list of directories, and sees that it points to |
| 8 |
libreadline.so.5 (this is after libreadline-5 has been unmerged). So, it |
| 9 |
adds -l libreadline.so.5 to the linking flags. Clearly, this is not the |
| 10 |
desired behaviour. What can be done to avoid it? |
