Ah, now I see your confusion. For a "standard" library, you're perfectly right. The -dbg library has the same SONAME as the non-debug version. Boost is different: they decorate the debug library name (and SONAME) with an extra "-d". So the debug versions do need the default runtime symlinks. Cheers, -Steve
