hello,

I reinstalled gentoo and everything is working fine but one thing:
the "old-gentoo" linked everything against libXXX.so the new one links
against libXXX.so.exact.version.number.
the problem is that after an update (minor version) nothing is working
that was using the lib (until I re-emerge the program of course).
Is there a .conf file or something I obviously forgot to edit because
I'm tired of setting sym-links

regards
sebstian

Try running 'revdep-rebuild' it was designed to fix library problems...

the point was why it gets linked against libXXX.so.ver instead of
libXXX.so
possible wrong libtool parameter or I'm to stupid to set it up the right
way...
