lib expat version numbering

[public@…]

I am having some problems with the expat lib and I found some strange numbering

After compiling expat I try to have a look at the build output here:

/opt/local/var/macports/software/expat/2.0.1_1/opt/local/lib

As you see, it is version 2.0.1_1. However the folder output looks like

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      16  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.0.dylib -> libexpat.1.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  admin  154336  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.1.5.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      20  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.1.dylib -> libexpat.1.5.2.dylib
-rw-r--r--  2 root  admin  184312  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      20  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.dylib -> libexpat.1.5.2.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root  admin     828  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.la

I am concerned if my problems linking against libexpat might be because of the numbering. Normally I would expect too get the library compiled as:

libexpat.2.0.1.dylib

instead of

libexpat.1.5.2.dylib

Is the current output the right one?
