Use -version-info, not -release. Patch from Zack Weinberg. His description: This one might be a little more controversial. Libtool's -release and -version-info options are supposed to be mutually exclusive, but it doesn't either enforce that or make it sufficiently clear in the manual. Using both makes the -version-info switch ineffective; you will get sonames like "libevent-2.0.so.1", "libevent-2.1.so.1", etc., even though version 2.1 will presumably be backward ABI compatible with 2.0. This patch just takes out the -release switches and bumps the -version-info value to 2:0:0 so that people looking at the files in /usr/lib will not be confused (it'll be "libevent.so.2"). This does change the soname, but the current release is labeled an alpha, and it would be better to stop using both switches as soon as possible, before someone over at libtool headquarters decides to enforce the mutual exclusivity here... Note that libevent_pthreads is not being linked with any versioning switches I didn't change that because I wasn't sure whether it was intentional. svn:r1339
