Dan, Thanks for your reply. > > Again, a port update of a library has bumped a .so version [in this case > > libatk-1.0.so.200 -> libatk-1.0.so.400]. > how did you update the port? ... Or you could run portupgrade -R, which > will upgrade all the packages dependent on the one you list. # portupgrade --new --upward-recursive --recursive --sudo --verbose --all That tends to get everything. > Portupgrade moves old libraries into /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg Sometimes it does, however in cases like this one (ie. atk), it didn't. > > Is there an elegant and quick way to relink a given binary to a > > different version of a particular .so, eg.

You snipped this bit in my message where I addressed this: >> I'm aware that rebuilding is the right thing to do since stuff can change >> in the libs, however experience from symlinking .so.N to .so.N-n shows >> that this almost never results in problems.
