One more question about this: what version of libpcre.so is available on
Fedora Core 11? Linking to that should be enough, albeit a bit hacky.
The reason for not providing a libpcre.so.3 symlink is that the current
version is no longer entirely compatible. /usr/lib/libpcre.so itself is
also just a symlink, at least normally.
The dependency comes from libsynthesis. I think we could compile it so
that the lib is not needed, without loss of functionality in
SyncEvolution.
The f11 package is pcre-7.8.2.
See below for the libraries/links on my system. Only the libpcre.so.3
symlink was created manually by me.
