Hello,

Thanks for your report, and sorry for the late reply.

You'll get that symlink if you install libnetsvcs-dev package, see:
   http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libnetsvcs-dev/filelist

Or have the server.conf look like:
   dynamic Logger Service_Object * ACE:_make_ACE_Logging_Strategy() "-s 
foobar -f STDERR|OSTREAM|VERBOSE"
   dynamic Server_Logging_Service Service_Object * 
libnetsvcs-6.0.1.so:_make_ACE_Server_Logging_Acceptor() active "-p 20009"

I see different options here:
  1 document this in a README as you suggest
  2 change ace_netsvcs so that it somehow replaces netsvcs string with
    libnetsvcs-6.0.1.so before proceeding to the loading
  3 change ACE shared library loading to teach it how to load its own
    libraries using SONAME rather than short name
  4 make ace-netsvcs package recommend (or even depend) on libnetsvc-dev

Any opinion on this?

libkokyu-dev 6.0.1-1 does depend on libkokyu-6.0.1 according to:
   http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libkokyu-dev

Thanks,
