the situation:
we were told the production servers would run RHEL 5.4.
we therefore built devt servers with RHEL 5.4; confirmed by
looking at /etc/redhat-release. regrettable, the prod servers
werebuilt as RHEL 5.5 (confirmed by /etc/redhat-release).
the symptom:
i figured i am using fairly vanilla C and compiling afresh
on the prod servers anyway so how could i go wrong?
well, some package i am using uses ./configure to look
at stuff and failed at testing for -luuid. the library was there
(/lib64/libuuid.so.1) but ld couldn't find it. same library setup
on the 5.4 system but gcc could find it. grrrrrrr.
in a fit of pique, i did a ln -s /lib64/libuuid.so.1 /lib64/libuuid.so
and that fixed teh problem on the 5.5 system.
what teh hell is going on? anyone seen this before?
there are no other /lib64/lib*.so and damned if i am going
to make other symlinks.
