In the case of going from version 1.0 to 1.1, you can actually delete
the old libraries - it won't create any problems.
In fact, you will find that if you have both sets of libraries on your
disk, and you run ldd on an executable that was created against
lib*.so.1.0, you will find that it is now linking against lib*.so.1.1.
(The 1.0 libs just become dead wood on your disk ;-)
Geoff.
