I'am code a program that needs a newer version of a lib. However, Fedora 16 doesn't support this new version installation package (libffi 3.1). Can I create an environment for Eclipse with the path of .so to run this lib only in my program?

2It might be faster, and simpler, to install the current version of Fedora? That one is, what, ten years old? – Sam Varshavchik Jul 16 '22 at 11:41

@SamVarshavchik Indeed. But i'am working in a comercial product that runs in this version, so update fedora sadly it's not a option – Guilherme Jul 16 '22 at 11:49

1A "commercial product" that's based on Fedora? Doesn't sound like a commercial product that anyone should be using, in the first place. I suppose that placing the shared library somewhere, manually setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, and then manually launching eclipse is worth a shot. If the "new version of a lib" carries a new soname, this is unlikely to work. – Sam Varshavchik Jul 16 '22 at 11:51
