When I install a software, I get other softwares+libraries to build and compile the new software. Every software needs diff. libs with same ( well, almost) functions.Eg. When I installed smail , it down loaded some libraries +applications. When downloaded hylafax , it installed plenty of fonts and etc, X downloaded its own fonts and etc. The newly installed libs are mostly same functions that exist in my system with diff name. If there is a problem in UNIX, this is most probably one of them. Now I have libsocket++, tcp_wrappers and mostly more libs with same functionalities. To resolv these problems, why not have generic libs ? So that there are no repeatation and duplicate libs (never mind the duplicate applications). What all the guru's think ?
