There are 2 problems.

[1] The dynamic lib is being installed as a hard link not symbolic.

[2] There is no link from /opt/csw/lib/libmp3lame.so.  This means that the
static lib is being used and not the dynamic when people build other
software.  eg, mplayer.  Even lame itself doesn\'t use its own library:

$ ldd /opt/csw/bin/sparcv8/lame
	libncurses.so.5 =>	 /opt/csw/lib/sparcv8/libncurses.so.5
	libm.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libm.so.1
	libsocket.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
	libnsl.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
	libc.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
	libdl.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
	libmp.so.2 =>	 /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
	/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1

I\'d dump the static libs anyway, they are just a waste of space if we all
use the dynamic lib.  The dynamic lib gives non isaexec programs a chance
to use lame\'s ISALIST libs.


Recommend:
[1] sym links from .so and .so.1 to the actual .so.0.0.0 lib file.
[2] dump the static libs
[3] rebuild so to use own lib
[4] update to 3.97
[5] rebuild of packages that think they use lame pacakge but are actually
using the static lib, eg, mplayer but I can\'t be sure what they are
because they no longer use lame!
