I tried this. Since I had a libc.so.6 I used that instead of the
above:
darkstar:/lib# ln -s libc.so.6 libz.so.1
Now, when I type info I get: Segmentation fault
After doing the above symbolic link, my /lib looks like this:
darkstar:/lib# ls -al libc.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 27 1998 libc.so.4 ->
libc.so.4.7.6*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 634880 Jun 4 1996 libc.so.4.7.6*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Oct 27 1998 libc.so.5 ->
libc.so.5.4.46*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 614840 Sep 14 1998 libc.so.5.4.46*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 27 1998 libc.so.6 ->
libc-2.0.7.so*
darkstar:/lib# ls -al libz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 8 02:11 libz.so.1 ->
libc.so.6*
----------------------
Maybe I should have linked 'libc.so.5.4.46' instead of 'libc.so.6' to
'libz.so.1'? How do I unlink what I just did? Man unlink hasn't
worked yet but I will reread it. I'm afraid I will delete the actual
file, rather than simply delete the link I just made. :)
Thanks,
