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
