Hi there.  I am strugling with rpm dependency hell and I thought I need to know how 
libraries are named in linux. 

The application that I am trying to install requires a library called libXm.so.2 and I 
do not have it on my system.  What I do have is a libXm.so.6.  How are shared 
libraries named in linux? Can I just create a link and have libXm.so.2 point to 
libXm.so.6? Any implications in doing that? If I do that will RPM recognise the added 
link?  Does RPM go and look for libraries installed in the system or it just relies on 
whats listed in the RPM database?  

Thanks for the help.
