That's the reason why this ain't documented. > dannyman (~) > ispell > ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.3.0" This has been mentioned 10 dozens times here. You're trying to use a package built on 2.2-current on an earlier (2.1.x) system. Packages are always being built for -current systems. For libc.so.3, the case is simple: by now, the only action that required the major number bump was the removal of some functions. Hence, you can link your libc.so.2.2 to libc.so.3.0, and go on. NB: all your newly linked programs will also be linked against libc.so.3 then unless you place the link in something else than /usr/lib, and teach the shared loader about this using ldconfig. -- 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. ;-)
