How do You manage different program versions?
Hallo,
I have an general question which happens when installing software by compiling them self. I'm using FreeBSD system 10.0 and the ports. for info, see: http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Ports.
As I installed BSD for some years there was (i.e.) perl-14 installed. Now, when doing some upgrades, perl-16 is needed by some ports. The problem is: some other older programs, that are still installed, require perl-14 when I do a update.
Can I general have perl-14 and perl-16 installed at the same time on a Unix machine?
And if yes - what is when a program compilation just only recommend "perl" and can not find the right version?
When no - how can I compile the older programs when there are no upgrades it?
I get the same problem i.e. with python27 and python24. How is it managed in general under UNIX that programs can compile when they needed different version of other programs (such like perl, python) or libraries?
(to explain: I understand updating as installing error fixes and upgrading as install a new version of a program)
