I'm afraid not - there is no standard method for it. What kind of version info are you looking for? Some libraries have version info in the corresponding header files, e.g. for libpng 1.2.5 #define PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING "1.2.5" others might have an API function that returns version information (can't think of an example now). Then there's the shared library version, e.g. for libpng 1.2.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 183972 Oct 17 12:12 libpng.so.3.1.2.5 and libtool has it's own library versioning scheme which is a different kettle of fish altogether :-)
