Why is that? Shouldn't they have different .so major versions?
Most binary distributions only ship one version, for conveniency/reduced work load/etc., but yes you can use as many PROJ + GDAL versions in different locations of your system of course What becomes messy is when you have quasi-diamond situations like : A depends on B on C B depends on PROJ < 6 C depends on PROJ >= 6 Things are bound to explode at runtime due to symbol clashes. Except that for the sake of my own development needs I was in that situation so you can use that trick: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnixGDAL25dev -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
