Hi!
Can anyone explain me what the difference is between (for example)
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so and /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2
AFAIK... .2 is a specific version number of the library. If a program just wants to link against any version of libXm, it will reference libXm, but if it specifically wants version 2, it will use libXm.2. You will probably find that /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so is a link to a specific version, probably /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.
