libclang is not built

Why should we provide this library ?

Well my use case is this popular vim script 'clang complete', which provides code completion in vim:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3302

Using the library rather than the command-line tool apparently provides much faster completion.

Is there a specific reason not to provide the library?

+1 for including this library (I'd like to build tools on top of it).

Setting this to triaged as we have a bug in Debian for the same thing.

It's also affect on this project:http://blogs.gnome.org/jessevdk/2011/09/10/gedit-clang-plugin-progress/

Could someone pull this into precise? Cheers

fixed in 2.9-13

Ok bun now present in ubuntu 11.10

there is no libclang.so file installed when you install clang package...
and there in no other way to install it as I can see.

It is not rely a problem, right now, but clang_complete throws errors that libclang.so in not present:
