I'm guessing that will eventually get me a libavahi-compat-libdnssd1.so to add to my app link.</div> <div>It seems that the standard Avahi .so's are pre-installed in Ubuntu 11 but the compatibility libraries aren't so I think I have to build it locally and add it to /usr/lib with the other libavahi-*.so files.  Am I on the right track?</div> <div><br> </div> <div><br> </div> </div> </body> </html>
