clisp-link includes the option -lSM and -lICE in a linking call, but dpkg-shlibdeps complains that the binary uses no symbols from this libraries. I tried to remove both options in /usr/lib/clisp-2.43/full/makevars and everything goes fine.
Actually, the Debian package doesn't directly depend on libICE [1] nor libSM [2], but it depends on libXt [3] instead, which pulls libSM and so libICE, too. The libXt dependency was added to solve bug #342552 [4], but as I explained at [5], xmkmf seems not to be used anymore on the Debian CLISP package. On my sid-amd64, I built CLISP without depending on libXt and it seems to work fine, even when using the CLX module with StumpWM [6], i.e. a CL program which interfaces with X. However, while the resulting "non-libxt"-compiled /usr/bin/clisp doesn't show any difference WRT the shared libraries it depends on when checked with ldd, the "non-libxt"-compiled /usr/lib/clisp-2.44.1/full/lisp.run indeed doesn't depend anymore on libICE and libSM. Note that ldd shows no shared libXt dependency, in both cases, i.e. when compiled with or without libXt. I'd say it's safe to remove the libXt dependency, but since I'm not yet a CLISP nor an X11 expert, I'd wait for some advice.
Please, remove these flags from LIBS in makevars or make it possible to exclude them at runtime.
Removing the libXt dependency will remove these flags from LIBS in makevars as well. However, if CLISP must depend on libXt, in that case your request will be an upstream wishlist ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://packages.debian.org/libice-dev [2] http://packages.debian.org/libsm-dev [3] http://packages.debian.org/libxt-dev [4] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=342552 [5] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-common-lisp-devel/2008-June/000...
