Hi,
Currently libgdiplus is broken into devel and the main package as per the packaging rules. However, the .so.0 files in the main package symlink to the -devel, so without the -devel subpackage, libgdiplus has problems.
In mono, this is fixed (kind of) by having mono-winforms requiring libgdiplus-devel (which pulls in libgdiplus if it's not already installed). Not the best solution, but one which works. Obviously, this can't be used for libgdiplus.
Given the nature of libgdiplus can an exception be made to this package so the .so file is bundled with the main package as well as the .pc file? I know it breaks the packaging regs, but I can't think of another way around it.
TTFN

And why .so.0 file in the main package symlinks to the so in devel instead of linking to the .so.0.0.0 in main?

No.

Please explain, why libgdiplus.so must be part of the run-time.
