FYI, I believe this is a known problem, and I believe that Red Hat solves it by a patch which runs 2.0.x binaries using a separate copy of the library, which is gross. They didn't really get the compatibility solutions working until 2.1. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
