Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am trying to install soprano needed for installing kdelibs. I found soprano on sourceforge and install it without an error. My previous version was 2.2.3 and now I install 2.3.70. The installation gone without a problem, but when I try to install kdelibs it says that my soprano version is 2.2.3 and need to update it.
Do I have to uninstall version 2.2.3 and then install2.3.70 and how?
I have never uninstalled software before. Until now I only installed and don't know how.
Distribution: PCLinuxOS2020 CentOS6.10 CentOS7.7 + 50+ other Linux OS, for test only.

Rep:
The "old version" : Probably in /usr/ ( as default ).
New version : Hiding in /usr/local/ ?
Just try : ls /usr/local/lib/libsoprano*
And : ls /usr/lib/libsoprano*
The version in /usr/lib/ is first in your path,
thus picked up first .. and the files in /usr/local/lib/ :
Are left untouched, as "non exsistant".

I use KDE 4.2.4 and I found bug with calendar which is widely met in the forum. First I wanted to upgrade to 4.3, but some errors occured and don't know how to clear them. In general I can't upgrade to 4.3, so I decided to install superkaramba
(http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html) in order to use some calendar widget. But there was dependencies with kdelibs and one more program (I forgot it's name). Seems I stuck in variant two to(installing superkaramba).
