excerpt from Readme.txt of most recent SuitSparce  (version3.4.0"
( http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/ )

"In a future version, I will include a "make install" that will create *.so
libraries and place them in /usr/lib.  The libraries should be called
libPACKAGE.so.VERSION.SUBVERSION.SUBSUBVERSION.  For example, 
libcolamd.so.2.7.1 should be the library name for COLAMD version 2.7.1.
The version numbers are located in UFconfig.h (in comments) and in each
package (as a #define)"
