[ILUG] linking & versions

 I've a gcc line like;

    gcc -o libthing.so.1.2.4 -shared *.lo

 Now, when I copy the shared lib into /usr/lib, and run ldconfig, it's not
doing

 ln -s /usr/lib/libthing.so.1.2.4 /usr/lib/libthing.so.1.2
 ln -s /usr/lib/libthing.so.1.2.4 /usr/lib/libthing.so.1
 ln -s /usr/lib/libthing.so.1.2.4 /usr/lib/libthing.so

 like I expected. Am I silly to be expecting this, or do I have to
explicitly set the version number of a shared library ?

Kate
