Splitting libHYPRE.so into sublibs ================================== The entire HYPRE library libHYPRE.so, taken as a single monolithic library, is quite large (approx. 6 MB with symbols stripped). Debian has therefore split HYPRE into sublibraries to bring the size of each sublibrary into line with other libraries. Specifically, the FEI component is split into a separate library. Due to circular dependencies between other components, we are not able split other components out into separate sublibraries. Starting from HYPRE 2.15.1, the sublibraries are libHYPRE_core.so libHYPRE_FEI.so which you may link with '-lHYPRE_FEI -lHYPRE_core'. If you do not use FEI then you may save space by linking only against -lHYPRE_core. libHYPRE.so is provided as a "dummy" library which is dynamically linked to libHYPRE_core.so and libHYPRE_FEI.so.
