The current error is one that's becoming depressingly familiar: moc died, it's missing a "libm.so.2". In the past, for all these kind of errors, I would track down the executable that needed the old libm, but I am wondering, maybe it wouldn't be all that horrible a thing, to fake it out? Would it work for me, do you think, to have a softlink, from libc to libm? Woud it hurt anything? (As long as I didn't try to propagate anything that wanted to use libm!) Would it actually work, solve that dependency problem? Or am I actually, for some reason, really better served by tracking down the old software and relink it? That's a heck of a lot of extra work, you understand, right? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
