Can I install older versions of libraries ?
I am attempting to use a third party binary that, when run, gives this error :
error while loading shared libraries: libHalf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryI have the following already installed
libHalf.so
libHalf.so.12
libHalf.so.12.0.0
How can I make this program run?
Thanks

Re: Can I install older versions of libraries ?
It is possible to install old libraries, but personally I see this as a last resort. Is the third-party binary closed-source? Is there any potential of rebuilding it (or having the provider rebuild it) against newer libs?
Depending on the lib, you'd likely have to use an alternative instal path (like /opt) if you needed two versions installed.
