First of all, if this helps you or not, the command "ldd" will show
you what dynamic links a program expects to make upon starting. That
ought to help you a little.

Secondly, if a library conforms to the whole major-minor-patchlevel
thing, these problems shouldn't occur.  Or at least, you could install
both versions, and the programs would all work the way they wanted,
whatever way they wanted.  However, some people just don't do it...
Grrr.  <sigh>  
As a wonderful example, I have libjpeg.so.6.0.1 in the kde libs,
and libjpeg.so.62.0.0 in /usr/lib.   Oh, someone needs to die for
that... 
Well, if nothing else, they /do/ have separate so numbers, so you
should have no problems running them both...

Oh, did you run "ldconfig" after you installed the new library?

Options:
Recompile kview and xv to use the newer libraries.  Yeah, it is
work, but you may win.  BTW, xv stands on its own, but kview may
possibly be a derivative of ImageMagick -- in which case, you'd have 
to update the imlib.  Fun, eh? Again, ldd will help.

Use shell-script wrappers to fill the LD_PRELOAD environment variable
with the correct libjpg library before calling the bins.  Its ugly,
but it works.

Your final option:  Install Windows2000 and IE5.

Haw haw... I kill myself...  :)
