Yeah. I ran into the same problem with some upgraded packages. It'll work 
if you put a symbolic link in:

ln -s libc.so.2.2 libc.so.3.0

Incidentally, a similar requirement appears if you try to run, for 
example, Netscape under X11R6. Netscape assumes just an X11 directory, so 
you need to add a symbolic link:

ln -s X11R6 X11

Netscape is happy with that.

Cheers!
