Thanks, I don't know why I didn't see that before. However there is still a problem : $ bc bc: error in loading shared libraries libreadline.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ ldd -v `which bc` ldd: version 1.9.2 libreadline.so.2 => not found libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x4000f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40054000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) $ ls -la /lib/libc5-compat total 132 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 6 01:36 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 3072 Jul 6 01:36 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 6 01:36 libreadline.so.2 -> libreadline.so.2.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 6 01:36 libreadline.so.2.0 -> libreadline.so.2.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 129716 Jun 23 17:44 libreadline.so.2.1 I have, several times, run "ldconfig -v" as root. The directories /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat are both in /etc/ld.so.conf So why is it doing this? If I do an $ strace -f ldd -v `which bc` It doesn't seem to try to open /usr/lib/libc5-compat Also note that there were spurious links to libhistory.so and libreadline.so in the "regular" directories, i.e. /usr/lib and /lib, presumably from the last version. Removing these did not help. The /etc/ld.so.cache had a modification date from the last time I run ldconfig -v. [EMAIL PROTECTED]/GNU--1.3---Linux--2.0.30--- ACHTUNG!
