it seems that i have some multiple versions of popt or something. please tell me how i can solve this.

I am a newbie so please be specific.

how can we be specific if you aren't? you've not even told us what distribution you're using...

Very generic advice, assuming that you are using an RPM-based distro, would be to do the following:

Code:

$ rpm -qa | grep popt

This should list all the packages whose names include "popt".

Choose the one you want to remove, and run the following command as root:

Code:

# rpm -e <the_package_name>

This is probably as specfic as it can be, as far as I'm concerned.

i am extremely sorry for that not precise post of mine.

i have suse 9.1 personal.

some software needed another version of libpopt.so and so i installed that but now Yast tells me all about some conflicts. i will still try that rpm -q and see if it works.
