Apparently a lot of binaries in afs fail because of a lack of libreadline.so.4.
Why isn't there one installed for compatibility purposes?
Seems to work via the "random" method:
[kid-icarus!jhawk] ~> rehash
[kid-icarus!jhawk] ~> nickle
nickle: Command not found.
[kid-icarus!jhawk] ~> athrun 5c nickle
nickle: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[kid-icarus!jhawk] ~> whichlocker libreadline.so.4
Locker software on Athena is maintained by many different people.
Don't run this unless you know the maintainer can be trusted.
"libreadline.so.4" is in "mono_v1.1.13" for linux
"libreadline.so.4" is in "python" for sun4
[kid-icarus!jhawk] ~> env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mit/mono_v1.1.13/lib athrun 5c nickle

(works)
