"It's unfortunate that Linux and/or Linux distributions have not yet solved the problem of supporting parallel versions of dependencies." Uh, they have. For ever. I have parts of boost 1.49, 1.53, 1.54 and 1.55 together on my system. I have GTK2 and GTK3 together on my system. I have Qt3, Qt4 and Qt5 together on my system. Python2 and Python3. libpoppler19, libpoppler44 and libpoppler46.
