Hi André, Apologies for the long delay in replying since your message arrived. I've been very busy, and just yesterday finally compiled Salomé.

The shared libraries themselves are not in the -dev package, only the symlinks are, but for some reason the -dev package is required to run Salomé. We'll have to investigate why... > By the way, it is correct > to have the line: > usr/lib/*.so > inside 'debian/libsalome-dev.files'? That's fine: the shared library package gets the real shared libraries *.so.0.0.0 , and -dev gets the symlinks *.so . If the library loading code needs the .so files, then that's something to fix. > I guess that it is not relevant to run the 5.1.3-4 build again > if this version works for you.

There's lots more to do, but having a version which runs seems like a big milestone. If you could test it, that would be great. This may even be worth uploading, so it gets started in the NEW queue, and if all goes well we can start using the Debian bug reporting system. By the way, have you had any luck with asking upstream to adopt some of these patches? Let me know if you need more information about any of them. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
