A different configure --prefix, along with --enable-rpath should help such that every executable loads its proper library, i.e. there then can be multiple versions/builds of ECL, i.e. stored as /usr/local/ecl-<suffix>/* If your use your system's libgmp, libgc and libdffi, this could still be problematic, but ECL also supports building its own statically, i.e. using --enable-boehm=included --with-gmp=included --with-dffi=included, so every build can use its own ABI-compatible version. -- Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
