Having upgraded to 2.0.0 from a Slackware 3.0 system I also installed the
new libc.so.5.3.12 in /lib and ran ldconfig. No change from the previous
5.0.9? I then tried libc.so.5.2.18 instead and that worked when running
ldconfig. Is there anything special to do when upgrading to libc.so.5.3.12?
I can't find that there should be, anywhere in the documentation?
