did you try running /sbin/ldconfig

also if that fails and there is no libc.so.6
but there is a libc.so
you can symlink  libc.so.6 to libc.so

ln -s libc.so.6 libc.so

Hey folks,
 Any mandrake users out there? Got a fellow who wants to do shell
dialup from his mandrake machine so we were going to install minicom. I
found the package that seemed appropriate to his system and went to
install it and it complained it didn't have the libc.so.6 or whatever
standard c libraries a system usually has. I checked and it does have
libc.so, so i'm a little suspicious by this error.
  I suspect we're just trying to install the wrong package. We're 
both
not too hip to the ways of mandrake, any suggestions of where to get a
minicom that will intall? Any advice about using the mandrake 
installer in
general?

ln -s libc.so.6 libc.so


Shouldn't it be ?
ln -s libc.so libc.so.6

This is just a note about the confusing 'ln' syntax; usually you execute
cmd sourceFile targetFile
but with ln that seem to be different.

Larry knows... just one of the typos that slip in.
