Another way is to start your program with proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH
*without* installing the shared library to its final location, i.e.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/xloops/xloops/.libs /path/to/the/binary

This method is useful if you don't want to override the previous version
of shared library for some reason.

No problem. BTW, the question has very little to do with gcc. It's rather
'How do ELF shared libraries work on *nixy OSes?'

Best regards,
