It's a problem in theory, but in practice, people don't typically install multiple copies in their PATH. If they install the official packages or the distribution-supplied packages in Fedora, etc., then vglrun will be in /usr/bin, and it will expect the fakers to be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If they install an unofficial build under /opt/VirtualGL or another directory of their choosing, then vglrun will automatically look for the fakers in /opt/VirtualGL/lib or whatever library directory they configured as part of the build. I don't see how this is any more prone to conflict than any other piece of open source software. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
