software, I usually add a "--version" command line option.
When called with "--version" the program outputs the version and terminate.

Same here. Under Linux, that is all you can do (as far as I know). No desktop environment (like KDE, Gnome, XFCE etc) has a "Version Information" tab in the file properties.

As for libraries, Linux (and most *nix systems) have a well established naming convention where the version number is part of the filename. I find this actually better than Windows - thus you can have multiple versions installed at the same time.

eg:
   libfbclient-2.0.so
   libfbclient-2.5.2.so
