Hi Randy,
Yes, go to rpmfind.net and look for an older version of libdl. You can also
look at tuxfinder.com.
Then have fun installing that older version. I DON"T KNOW, but i would try
something like "rpm -ivh --force <rpm package filename>". Note that you are
_installing_ it, not upgrading it, hence -ivh instead of -Uvh. If that works,
then you should have two versions of that package installed.
Read the man page of rpm, obviously, before you go pulling some stunt like
that. And make sure that the worst that could happen is you would have to
uninstall the misunderstanding and install the original package again.
Good luck,
j
