Summary:                    libgamin_dev creates broken symlink for libfam.so
Description: 
After installing libgamin_dev I got the following files:

% grep libfam /var/sadm/install/contents
/opt/csw/lib/libfam.so=libfam.so.0.0.0 s none CSWlibgamin-dev
/opt/csw/lib/sparcv9/libfam.so=libfam.so.0.0.0 s none CSWlibgamin-dev

Note, that there are two symlinks -- but not the files they are pointing
at. The libfam.so.0.0.0 does not exist neither in /opt/csw/lib nor in
/opt/csw/lib/sparcv9

Perhaps, the symlink should point at libgamin.so?

Yes, it does. It was written for FAM -- before Gamin appeared on the scene.
All of the FAM-using software out there can be built against either. Gamin
is just more feature-full and has more OS-specific backends (kqueue for
BSD, /dev/poll for Solaris, inotify or whatever on Linux, etc.) to do its
job efficiently.
