You can have both on your disk, but only the most recent one will be used. If you look in your /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib directory, you will find something like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan 24 2010 libclthreads.so -> libclthreads.so.2.4.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jan 24 2010 libclthreads.so.2 -> libclthreads.so.2.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31334 Jan 24 2010 libclthreads.so.2.4.0 The two symbolic links are created by 'make install'. When you compile and link a program, the *.so one is actually used, the linker discovers it points to *.so.2.4.0 and will leave a mark in the binary saying it needs the *.so.2 file at run time. So even if you have 2.2.1, it will never be used if 2.4.0 was installed more recently. You can have two versions of a library *if* the major version number (the first, 2 in this case) is different. If it is the same, the most recent one should be binary compatible with the older one, so the older one is not needed.
