SOLVED: just tried jack_convolve, and got

able to find libconvolve. took a look in /usr/lib and found that there
was only libconvolve.so.0.0.8 with no libconvolve.so.0 symlink. added
the symlink, and all is fine.
is this a SUSE packaging problem?
Sounds like it. I mean: even if the install target in the libconvolve
Makefile is broken [which is actually an option since i have no idea what
i'm doing ;)], SUSE shuoldn't ship the broken build from it..

It seems a simple but annoying typo in the Packman/SUSE spec file has
broken the "update logic" for this package: on my system i have an older
package version libconvolve-0.0.8-0.pm.1, which doesn`t list
/usr/lib/libconvolve.so.0 via rpm -qf although the file is there (that's a
mystery to me, because i am sure i didn't create such a link myself, maybe
a relict from an older version). The current Packman package is called
libconvolve0 (which looks like a typo to me, especially because the -devel
package still is named libconvolve-devel), and therefore it isn't seen as
an update by any package manager... I just posted a bug report to the
package maintainer, should be fixed soon.
Something else i find quite confusing: very many -devel packages from
SUSE/Packman contain the unversioned .so symlink for the package. Maybe I
don't understand the reason for this, but that just doesn't make sense to
me... I thought usually only static libs and header files go to the -devel
packages. We (jacklab people) had to ask the jack packager to move that
file to the main package because some application opened the jack library
via this file, which forced the user to install the jack-devel package, or
create the symlink manually, if they could figure out at all what was going
on...
