New issue 214 by quillerszasza: Pidgin-musictracker plugin doesn't display
xmms2 status info on ubuntu 10.04
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-musictracker/issues/detail?id=214

On default 10.04 Lucid and 9.10 Karmic install (both 32 and 64 bits),
Pidgin with musictracker plugin doesn't display the status info from music
player Xmms2.

Versions (from 10.04 Lucid):
Pidgin - 2.6.6
Musictracker - 0.4.19
Xmms2 - 0.7 DrNo

The problem is that a symbolic link is missing, or incorrectly named in
/usr/lib. Musictracker plugin is searching for '/usr/lib/libxmmsclient.so',
but the actual file name is '/usr/lib/libxmmsclient.so.6.0.0'. If I make a
symlink pointing to the file '/usr/lib/libxmmsclient.so.6.0.0' with name
'/usr/lib/libxmmsclient.so', the plugin finds the library and starts
working.
This bug is easily reproduceable (and fixable).

I can't reproduce this problem on Ubuntu 09.10 Karmic.

libxmmsclient5 contains a symlink from /usr/lib/libxmmsclient.so to
/usr/lib/libxmmsclient.so.5.0.0

I'm not sure the libxmmsclient API is finalized, so I'm not sure exactly
what sonames it's appropriate for musictracker to look for.

I'll do some testing with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid once I have a VM setup

Reproduced with Lucid.

The libxmmsclient API doesn't seem to have any differences between XMMS 0.6
(libxmmslclient.so.5) and 0.7 (libxmmsclient.so.6) which affect the way we
use it, so it should be safe to look for both these names.

Fixed in svn r464

Please test the updated package from my PPA when it finishes building, if
you can.
