Re: IRIX and .so numbers

[Robert Boehne]

Nick:

I have recently noticed this as well.  I get the correct version on
every platform except for IRIX where it is `expr $correct + 1`.
You are using CVS, correct?  I'm no expert on the versioning
Libtool code so if anyone could comment on why this might
be there that'd help.  Nick, you should always tell us what version
you're using when you ask about a bug.

Thanks,

Robert
