Hi Rutger,
The problem is you can't just drop the library anywhere. I am
guessing from you message that you do not have root privleges on the
server. I doubt that you will be able to add a shared library without
root access. The second problem I see you may have is the the binary
was compile for BSDI 4.2 and you are running 4.01 which has many know
bugs in the threads libraries (which are fixed on 4.2). Is there any
way that you can get the server updated? 4.01 is very old, does it
have all patches for bugs applied? I think you might have better luck
compiling from source if you have gcc2.95 installed.
Anyway with root access if you have the file /usr/lib just run
ldconfig -v and you should see it added provided it is a valid
library. (You may need to create a link to get it to add ) see the
man page for ldconfig.
Good Luck Ken
