Simultaneously supporting multiple binary incompatible versions of anything is painful. I would say the best idea is "don't do that". Subdirs of /usr/lib or versioned .so filenames can keep things apart if you really want. And that can be easily handled in the .scm when loading. The absense of a global convention is not the calamity you assert. > why > project with over 8 years history STILL has such minor basic issues > unresolved ?

Actually describing what you're trying to do would be useless. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
