I'm looking for a Gnu/Linux package manager, that can help to package, distribute, install sofware (actually scientific libraries), like this:

do not required root privilege, for example, install in $HOME/opt or $HOME/local
manage muliple version of a library, for example, with this directories organisation:
- $HOME/opt/somelib/4.2.1/lib/
- $HOME/opt/somelib/4.2.1/include/
- $HOME/opt/somelib/4.2.1/bin/
- $HOME/opt/somelib/4.2.2/lib/
- $HOME/opt/somelib/4.2.2/include/
- $HOME/opt/somelib/4.2.2/bin/
- $HOME/opt/anotherlib/1.0.0/lib/
- $HOME/opt/anotherlib/1.0.0/include/
- $HOME/opt/anotherlib/1.0.0/bin/
package contains source files, not binaries, build is performed during install.
support for Mac OS X too would be good.

Then it's up to the user to manage it's LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or compile with -L/good/path etc.

Does it exists?

I know it is probably not necessary to paste the whole path, but just for the record I have done so below. Whenever I run a python command, it takes a long time to load this path I suppose.
