Hi,

Should I be seeing on Unix (Fedora 21) using autotools:

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/*proj*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3206058 Mar  8 20:00 /usr/local/lib/libproj.a
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root     955 Mar  8 20:00 /usr/local/lib/libproj.la
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      16 Mar  8 20:00 /usr/local/lib/libproj.so ->
libproj.so.9.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      16 Mar  8 20:00 /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.9 ->
libproj.so.9.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1593661 Mar  8 20:00 /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.9.0.0

while with the 4.9.0 RC I see:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3193442 Jan 21 15:49 /usr/local/lib/libproj.a
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root     953 Jan 21 15:49 /usr/local/lib/libproj.la
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      16 Jan 21 15:49 /usr/local/lib/libproj.so ->
libproj.so.0.8.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      16 Jan 21 15:49 /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0 ->
libproj.so.0.8.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1584463 Jan 21 15:49 /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0.8.0

that is, was the resolution to #263 (r2629) the right one? The consequence
is, of course, that the original libproj.so.0 is now libproj.so.9, and at
least GDAL and Spatialite complain (2 of a sample of 2). This means that all
downstream use of libproj.so.0 has to be rebuilt, if I understand correctly.

I hope I'm just confused, sorry for only reporting now, I've been travelling.

Roger
