Hi,

I think that there's severals things in this package. First of all, take care 
about package-name-doesnt-match-sonames. Are you sure that your soname is 0?

Because in the Makefile is show that is:

APP = limereg
MAJOR = 0
....
DEVLIB = $(LIBPREFIX)$(APP).so
SONAME = $(DEVLIB).$(MAJOR)

It's late here and maybe I'm sleepy, but this var is not equal to 0.

Leopold
