Generally on a Unix system all libraries have version numbers

112 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   57026  2 Jan 10:20 libncp.a
  0 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      11  2 Jan 10:20 libncp.so ->
libncp.so.1
 86 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   43740  2 Jan 10:20 libncp.so.1
122 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   61474  2 Jan 10:20 libncp_p.a
816 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  407570  2 Jan 10:19 libncurses.a

  0 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      16  2 Jan 10:20 libnetgraph.so ->
libnetgraph.so.1
 22 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   11092  2 Jan 10:20 libnetgraph.so.1
 26 -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   12464  2 Jan 10:20 libnetgraph_p.a

So there should be no problem att all.
