Re: Strange Lintian warning
Hi,
I had the same problem packaging tkstep. As per policy the shared
libraries should be *explicity* linked to the libraries they use and
*always* to libc, so that ld.so knows what version (5 or 6) to link.
Simply add an -lc to the link command.
Hope this solves the problem. Ciao,
Federico
