Then maybe there needs to be another distribution. Solaris LCD. Or
maybe, when installing software, you would check for common libraries
before installing missing libraries. The installer should look at
certain directories, then revision level of the libraries. If it uses a
different library, ask if permissible. Anything to start reducing the
amount of libraries would be helpful. At least, just start trying to get
this task done.
I've got another idea. Why not use an environment variable such as:
LCD=/usr/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib
Where during software installation, if the library isn't found in the
LCD path, it installs its specific library. If the LCD variable isn't
present, software installs as usual, just building up libraries.
