I don't think you understood what libusbx 1.x is and why it exists. It is a meant to be a drop-in-replacement for libusb 1.x so there should be no need to uninstall software A and thats why it NEEDS TO have the same file names. So if it works as advertised, what is the a problem? In the future (libusbx 2.x) when,not if, libusbx will differ from libusb things (including filenames) may/will be different. On the otherhand it seems both inevitable and logical that in that future a compatibility layer will be created for applications that require 1.x functionality/compatibility IF (or when) maintenance of 1.x generation is dropped. libusbx was created with great reluctance because libusb was not going anywhere and many people felt it had no future. Besides I'm sure regardless of your platform there are ways to use libraries with conflicting filenames in most situations. br Kusti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
