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.
