In fact you have zillion of softlinks for libs which you didn't setup by hand. However, the library must be compiled correctly. Possibly, there's some NPTL/LinuxThreads confusion (i.e. in one of them, the softlink isn't needed because the binaries directly refer to the original name - I don't expect that, it's against common practice, but the LDD output and listing the file names in both the NPTL and LinuxThreads glibc should give a bit of light). > It occured to me that there must be some mechanism that overcomes this > issue otherwise everytime RPM does something like run ldconfig I'd have to > fix it again (and so would everyone - and I'm sure greater minds than mine > have already thought of this). > Phill. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
