Libraries not installed.
In particular, you are apparently missing at least part of libc6, AKA glibc2.
On Slack 7.1, you should find /lib/libdl-2.1.3.so, and /lib/libdl.so.2
should be a symbolic link to it. Do NOT link libdl.so.2 to libdl-1.9.9.so--
the latter is (I think) part of the old libc5, and mixing and matching library
versions like that is Asking For Trouble(TM).
Make sure you have both the "glibc" and "glibcso" packages installed. (You
didn't by any chance install using the "expert" mode, did you? If so, try
installing with "menu" mode instead...it knows that packages like glibc and
glibcso are vital, and won't let you skip them.)
