Hello,

this is really bad because it means the LTS Ubuntu Hardy is not usable
for serious applications.

Is there any summary about this problem? Anything one could pass to the
programmers of broken applications to fix it on the application side ?

(BTW, the subject refers libsdl. My application that fails does not bind
any sdl library...)

Thanks

Chris
