Sorry to follow-up to my own post, but it gets stranger . . .

as my normal user:
ldd /usr/bin/ee

        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40005000)
        libgdk_imlib.so.1 => /home/dreed/imlib/lib/libgdk_imlib.so.1
(0x40008000
)
        libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x4002d000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40059000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40067000)
        libungif.so.3 => /usr/lib/libungif.so.3 (0x40085000)
        libpng.so.2 => /home/dreed/imlib/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x4008c000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x400ac000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x400b4000)
        libgtk.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgtk.so.1 (0x400c8000)
        libgdk.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgdk.so.1 (0x40170000)
        libglib.so.1 => /usr/lib/libglib.so.1 (0x40190000)
        libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x4019c000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401a5000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401b0000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40247000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40260000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)
        libjpeg.so.6 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.6 (0x40305000)
        libm.so.5 => not found
        libc.so.5 => not found

but as root:
ldd /usr/bin/ee 

finds everything.

as root, ldd /usr/local/bin/ezppp

        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40000000)
        libc.so.5 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4009c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.1 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)

still can't find libc.so.5

What's going on?

Once again, I did a fresh install of 5.2 from the PowerTools CD and
applied the errata from updates.redhat.com and changed the ld.so.conf
as described in the manual (and before the change, it didn't work
either).


Thanks,
