Yes.  That is what I need, as I am building some python modules using 
C++.  python doesn't like the prefix. 

Thank you very much.

The lib is required by the OS for libraries that you can link to.
However, for loadable modules some systems like swig require that
there be no prefix.

You can set the prefix like this:

 SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( sample PROPERTIES PREFIX "")

But note, that you will not be able to link to the sample library from
cmake at this point.</pre>

It will create a library named as "libsample.so".  It always add prefix "lib" for all the library it created.  Is there a way to get rid of this prefix, the "lib"?

Thanx a lot.
