Wikilink to a symbolic link in ikiwiki

I am running an ikiwiki for my personal use on my laptop via apache2 (os: ubuntu 10.04). If I want to make a link to a local pdf-file I put the file into my scrdir and use the usual wikilink syntax. However if I put only a symbolic link into the scrdir instead of the actual file, it doesn't work. Is there a way to make that ikiwiki handles symbolic links in this situation?
