Re: [Hamlib-developer] Two version of hamlib installed

[George B. <geo...@gm...>]

I have been running that way for a couple of years on openSUSE 
Tumbleweed with no problems.  The distro version of Hamlib(4.6.5) is in 
/usr, my compiled version (4.7-git) is in /usr/local, and my 
self-compiled apps are in ~/.local(cqrlog, wsjtx-improved) or in 
/usr/local(tlf, trlinux).

I just had to make sure that the paths for rigctld in the apps had 
/usr/local in them, and that /usr/local was first in /etc/ld.so.conf. YMMV.

Keeping the distro version installed is just to keep the package manager 
happy.

I would uninstall the -dev package and use 4.6.5 for compilations.
