After encountering problems with 3.4.3 of gcc (it did not compile a
package I really needed to have - yes yes I am sure it is right and
better, BUT ...), I went back to 3.3.3 for a while. I just noticed that
there are two copies of libraries installed the install script on my
machine (one in /opt/local/lib==/usr/local/lib) and one in
/opt/lib/sparcv9/==/usr/local/lib/sparcv9). They are installed by the same
install script as they are just about 1 minute apart in disk time
signatures but they are different in size by quite a bit. I did a little
more research and found lots of such things). Since some of these things
are quite large -

 What is the purpose of having two such identically names libraries?
  Or alternatively - which is the real one that I should be using?

The ones in /opt/lib are always larger! 
 And /opt/lib is the one mostly used for linking.
  SO, can I (should I) blow away the sparcv9 directory?

Confused,

Ray Holme
