google-perftools-devel-0.96 RPM doesn't include libprofiler.so.0.0.0.0 about gperftools HOT 7 CLOSED

libprofiler.so.0.0.0 (only 3 0's) is part of the non-devel RPM.  You need to 
install
the non-devel RPM in addition to the devel RPM.  In theory, the devel RPM 
depends on
the non-devel RPM, so this should be enforced by the package manager (rpm).  But
maybe that part isn't done quite right?  I don't know very much about .rpm 
files.

If indeed the dependencies aren't specified right between the devel and 
non-devel
packages, feel free to re-open the bug (and, ideally, propose a patch to fix 
it. :-)
)  Otherwise I'm closing this as not-a-bug.

I was able to install the devel rpm without needing to install the non-devel 
rpm (in
fact, I didn't notice it existed until you pointed it out, thanks!).  Looking 
at the
spec file in the tarball, I don't see any 'requires' directives that specify
dependencies, probably you need to add one of those, but I'm not an rpm master 
either
(see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-depend-manual-dependencies.html).  
Probably
you need something like:

requires: google-perftools >= 0.96

under the '%package devel' section of the spec file.

[Sorry about the 4 0's, though I did get it right in the body of the report.]

OK, thanks for the pointer.  I'll look into adding the necessary "requires" for 
the
next release.

OK, I've figured out something that I think should work.  It will be in the 
next release.

Should be fixed in perftools 0.97
