Evidently it got left out of the SNAP. It was part of 2.1R, and belongs 
in /usr/lib.

Now, in loading some later-version packages I got slammed for not having 
libc.so.3.0 in there, but I got everything working fine by putting in a 
symlink. If you have the 3.0 lib, perhaps you can get away with a reverse 
symlink.
