What steps will reproduce the problem?

  ./configure; make; sudo make install
  ls /usr/local/lib/libprotobuf-c.so.*.*.* 

What is the expected output?

  /usr/local/lib/libprotobuf-c.so.x.y.z

  with different x.y.z for e.g. protobuf-c-0.13 and 0.14 
  as the libraries API changed between these two versions

What do you see instead?

  /usr/local/lib/libprotobuf-c.so.0.0.0

  no matter whether i have 0.12, 0.13 or 0.14 installed

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  protobuf-c-0.(12|13|14) on Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 on x86_64)

I was just bitten by this one. I compiled a binary on my development machine, which is using libprotobuf-c 0.14 compiled from source, and moved it to another machine where libprotof-c is installed from the ubuntu repositories (which is apparently 0.11-4). I get a segfault inside libprotobuf-c.so.0 when calling a generated _pack function. It'd be far preferable if the library was versioned so that the binary refuses to run due to the version mismatch, instead of segfaulting.
