The shared library on a 2.1.0 system is, I believe, at libc.so.2.2.
The shared library on a -stable system is at libc.so.2.2.
The shared library on a -current system is at libc.so.3.0.
Did you grab packages built to be run on -current? If so, these packages will
look for libc.so.3.0. You can do
%su root
%cd /usr/lib
%ln -s libc.so.2.2 libc.so.3.0
%shutdown -r now
The shutdown and subsequent reboot will cause ldconfig to pickup the new
symlink.
NOTE #1: The bump in the major number from 2 to 3 indicates that at least
1 function had its interface changed (i.e., calling convention, return value).
This specific bump is probably related to the threads work in -current.
NOTE #2: Is this dangerous (to your filesystems)? I don't know, but it
works for me with a utility that I can't compile locally.
