Outside of SCL you can also look into the modules environment packages, which allow you to temporarily override the base system dynamically. We use this to maintain several version of libraries that do not come with the OS or are newer than those provided by the OS to build production software pipelines for various research tools. It's a pretty nice system ;) -- James A.
