Sorry. Was trying to ask whether a symlink to a symlink to a thing was okay (that is, do symlinks 'chain'). I couldn't think of a reason why not, but I was grasping at whatever I could ... Here is what I have, which unless I'm mistaken matches what Bruce had ... though my libbz2.so.1.0.6 is larger. root:/sources# ls -l /usr/lib/libbz2.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 18 09:51 /usr/lib/libbz2.so -> ../../lib/libbz2.so.1.0 root:/sources# ls -l /lib/libbz2.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 18 09:50 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0 -> libbz2.so.1.0.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 237896 Mar 18 09:50 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.6
