OK this is all with virgin stuff installed from SuSE 6.0, not downloaded
or installed from anywhere else - the Acrobat Plugin for Netscape
Communicator doesn't work because it's looking for libc5 (libc.so.5) and
can't find it. The exact error message is: "ERROR: libc.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory Can't load plugin
/usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat3/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so. Ignored.

The listed file ...nppdf.so is there, and accessible under my user, so I
think it's the library that's missing not the plugin. :-)

acroread itself seems to work OK.

And I've just checked my /lib and guess what? No libc.so.5 (standard
install from SuSE-Linux.6.0-evaluation, no subsequent modifications by
me). I'm just looking at the SuSE ftp site...

Downloading shlibs.rpm and shlibs5.rpm in the hope that this is what I
need - although YAST *tells* me I already have them... Anyway, we'll see
- this could of course kill my system... :-}

Nope, that wasn't it.

What should I do to run stuff that needs libc.so.5? (Hey, I thought
Netscape needed it, but that's working... Is SuSE distributing the glibc
version these days?)
