The LAM development team does not change the shared library version
numbers associated with a release - LAM distributed tarballs always
have an SONAME of lib{lam,mpi}.so.0. This may change in the future,
but not during the 7.0 release schedule.
Some of the Linux distributions do modify our SONAME, although I'm not
exactly positive why they do this - it doesn't bother the LAM
development team, so none of us ever looked into it :). Most likely
your 6.5.9 installation is a binary installation from a Linux
distribution that modifies the version numbers of the shared libraries.
Hope this helps,
Brian
