ld.so has a feature that forces it to use a specific file. Just set
LD_PRELOAD in the environment to the full pathname of the .so file.
This is useful for programs that need special versions of common libs.
"man ld.so" for more details.
If you're using bash (or any Bourne-style shell), it's easy to add to the
environment of a single command. So once you have 1.9.5 of ld-linux.so
installed, try this:
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/ld-linux.so.1.9.5 appletviewer
/usr/local/jdk1.1.6/demo/awt-1.1/lightweight/OpenlookButtons/example.htm
