It's understandable that using something like pkg-config can avoid this causing problems, but it's still a bit of an issue.
It's not only the libraries that are named in such a way, the headers are located in /usr/include/lua5.1/* rather than /usr/include/* (which they are in all other distributions I've checked on). Is there any particular reason for naming them differently? If not, then surely it would make sense to follow the same pattern as other distributions, to help ease compatibility. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377239 Title: lua 5.1 package installs libraries with wrong name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lua5.1/+bug/377239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
