Re:Totally Non-Ximian-Specific red herring (Score 1)

After upgrade hell on other applications I wonder now about the Ximain way. Ximain makes there own versions of libs and this tends to cause all sorts of problems that I'm NOT willing to spend the time sorting out. Why can't I have N different versions of Foo-lib? And if Ximian is making N-4th one why does it have to break every program that needs the other version... DUMB. Yes I maybe the DUMB part of this equation but I've spent enough time (wasted) trying to sort this type of stuff out. If I want to upgrade GRIP to the latest and greatest (for the sake of ...) the last thing I want to see is that my choice of Ximain is keeping me from installing the latest RPM. Build form source? Nope still craps out. If there is a simple answer (besides just staying away from all this) then I would love to hear it. But current plans set me away from Ximian. A plain install of RH will be in the works. Give me a call on the Clue Phone if need be.
