Must I used the dev versions, or will it work with the lastest, stable release versions of same?
Linux distributions use foo-devel or foo-dev for the files necessary for development, i.e. header files and link-time shared libraries (libfoo.so, vs. libfoo.so.N which is the runtime shared object; you can have multiple runtime versions installed for backward compatibility). (This doesn't apply to NetBSD or FreeBSD, which always installs both runtime and developer components; foo-devel there does indeed mean the latest developer code.) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
