Since it was not an addition, you can circumvent the problem by linking libc.so.2.2 to libc.so.3.0. However, be careful, or all your newly-linked programs will be linked against version 3. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
