Hello. Chances are making a symlink of the 11v5 library to a sword1.8.so file will fail as the prototype of the function may not be the same between the 2 versions (may be some new function were added as well).
You can try to play with : 1) LD_PRELOAD to tell the linker to override a default .so with something you choose instead. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/426230/what-is-the-ld-preload-trick#426260 2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH to tell the linker where to look for .so. On my debian/ubuntu system, i keep the original sword installed for prepackaged apps, and I install the latest one "in a corner" for home made stuff. I took some notes on how to install a custom sword on debian/ubuntu there: https://github.com/pierre-amadio/SwordSandBox/blob/master/notes.txt Line 28 to 33 cover the compilation of sword in /usr/local/sword Line 52 to 56 cover environnment variable needed to use this library at runtime (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH) and to compile other stuff against it.
