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?

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The libfam.so.0 library is in fact in CSWlibfam0, but as it is a legacy
library it is not pulled in by default:
 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/gamin/trunk/Makefile#L46
I am not sure if pulling in this library is a requirement. Maybe you can
elaborate the working of
the software you are compiling against fam?
