No, (at leats not since 1998 ;)

That's what PATH is for. At my universities hp-ux machines, /usr/bin/perl
is invariably perl4.036 (fixed), at the irix machines, it's perl5.003,
at...
If gimp would only run on linux (as would be the case if it were a gnome
app ;->), I wouldn't argue... Especially since it's fixed by using the
correct path in cvs anyhow.
python has no such problems _yet_, since it's a very young language.
