Finally the smartcard reader works

I've bought a SCM SCR-335 to put the fellowship card to use.
But, alas, although I did like was described in the howto, I got an error when trying to access the card with gpg --card-status on my Debian Sarge system:
micha@Suppenschuessel:~$ gpg --card-status
gpg: apdu_open_reader: failed to open driver `libpcsclite.so': libpcsclite.so: cannot open shared object file: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
gpg: card reader not available
gpg: OpenPGP Karte ist nicht vorhanden: Allgemeiner Fehler

Output of 'sudo pcscd --debug -f' looked quite ok, though.
Ok, the simple solution came to me after googling for maybe half an hour:
micha@Suppenschuessel:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -si libpcsclite.so.1 libpcsclite.so
After that fix, gpg could access the card :)
