I'm trying to bring up thot (commercial word-processing system,
Linux bianry distributed free). It is looking for libc.so.4.6+ and
libm.so.4.6+ . Directory in subject has .5 versions only. Thot
gives warnings and then can not find some function and fails.
I've got libc.so.4.6.27 and libm.so.4.6.27 from my friends machine,
but now I get:
/usr/local/thot/bin/LINUX/thotmain: can't load library '/lib/libm.so.4'
	Exec format error
/usr/local/thot/bin/LINUX/thotmain: can't find library 'libm.so.4'

What is it? I know he is not using elf, so the binaries must be fine?..
Thanks!
