OK let's say that I had glib-2.0 installed in the default location of /usr it's the default mandrake 9.0 rpm install.

Then I go and download the latest src.tar.gz version and ./configure it with the defaults and install the new version in /usr/local

How do I un-install the old version in /usr without breaking all the dependences and have the apps that where looking in /usr/* for the libraries now reference /usr/local....

This is probably an easy answer but I am not sure how linux handles version compatibility.

For some reason I prefer to do configure make make install rather than use rpm... probably because I learn more.

So the question again is how do you install libraries in different locations without breaking dependencies on currently installed apps?

Thanks.
