Well, in the FreeBSD ports collection, the port for gtk-1.0.x installs a set of
libraries named like the default. However, the port for gtk-1.1.x installs a slightly
modified set of libraries and tools, named libgtk11.so(and the rest of the
shlibs are renamed in that fashion), gtk11-config, and places the gtk-1.1.x include files
in /usr/X11R6/include/gtk11/gtk. Ofcourse, gtk11-config is modified to fit this, so any
port which wants to use gtk-1.1.x is set to find gtk11-config, and then both gtk-1.0.x
and gtk-1.1.x can coexist with no special problems. Maybe the gtk team should consider
modifying the Development version of GTK+, or perhaps the upcoming gtk-1.2, to behave
like this?
I think this would solve a whole bunch of problems for people.
Gilad.
