    Hmm, it's not generally a good practice to shoehorn the wrong version of
    a library into an application 8-/. The soname change generally indicates
    the ABI is no longer compatible. It's almost guaranteed something will
    be broken, if the application runs at all.

    To make it work correctly, you'd have to compile the versions of the
    libraries to match the versions the binary wants.
