I did try that initially, but the problems persisted until I made the
symlink and relinked the executable.

ldd was telling me that it had both libc.so.3 and libc.so.5 which seemed
very bad to me.  When I recomipled LyX to see if that would fix things,
I noticed that ld was giving a warning about libc.so.3 and libc.so.5
potentially conflicting.  It hadn't ever been a problem before, but it
doesn't seem like the safest arrangment.  With the symlink in place, ldd
reports that only libc.so.5 is being used, and everything seems to be
okay.
