Rob will kill me for this suggestion, but you can force rpm installation
with a
rpm -i guile-whatever.old.rpm --force
the --nodeps flag might also help ...
Typically you will also want to reinstall the latest rpm again, so that
any config and doc files reflect the newst rpm, not the old one.
You can verify that this worked:
on my system:
/sbin/ldconfig -p | grep guile
libguile.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libguile.so.6
libguile.so.4 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libguile.so.4
libguile.so.3 (ELF) => /usr/lib/libguile.so.3
libguile.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libguile.so
--------------------
Anyway, part of the whole point of having numbered .so files is the
ability to have multiple version isntalled, so that older binaries can
link to and run from older libs, while newer programs and libs can be
installed without trashing older code.
