It is no longer supported in slink. I still have it on my system, I think there used to be a package in hamm. It will not hurt if you put libc.so.4 in /lib, but if you cannot find a debian package for it, it is a better idea to put it in /usr/local/lib. I think you will need to have support for the `aout' executable format compiled into the kernel as well. I would suggest the following: 1) Try to find a recent version of the program (what is it, by the way?). 2) Try to locate a hamm libc4 package. 3) Try to locate a libc.so.4 library elsewhere. Options 2) and 3) require aout support in the kernel, and option 3) requires that you manually run `ldconfig' after putting the library in /usr/local/lib. HTH, Eric -- E.L.
