Every time I try to run a certain executable (like vi forinst), I get
this diagnostic at the terminal: ld.so: libc.so.2: not found. I do
not understand this, I only have vn. 1.8.1 of libc in /usr/lib, my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is appropriately set, can anyone help me trace down my
problem and/or a solution. Also, whenever I compile, my system
complains that the dl_open, dl_close, and some other dynamic linker
labels are not covered. If I add -ldl to my compile line, it links up
okay. These problems appear to overlap????? I did do an ldd on some
stuff, and it appears that it is looking for this phantom libc.so.2.0,
shouldn't it "fall back" to whatever is available failing that??? or
is there some way I can flush the cache of what dynamic lib these
objects are looking for? Please email me any solutions or tests to
try, I am running on a sparc10 sunos 4.1.3. Thanks in advance.
