Since /usr/lib is on a partition by itself, it can be mounted as /usr/lib
and not need a symlink. You just need a directory in /usr named lib and an
fstab entry defining it, much like the way I do a few. A couple of examples:
/dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda3 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdd2 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc5 /home/kcsmart ext2 defaults 1 2
Doing it this way may eliminate the errors, and it certainly works better
for the things that can distinguish when they install.
To do it at this point likely requires booting into single mode to
accomplish. Most likely would require the fstab changes be made first and
the actual moving of files last to avoid the possibility of something
looking for libraries in the wrong place.

Is this my stop?
