libdl.so.2 for bo?
I'm trying to install StarOffice 5.1, which is said to be compatible with my linux 2.0.30. However, when I try to run the setup program: ./setup: error in loading shared libraries libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Indeed, the version of libdl.so on my system is 1.8.12. Is there a way to upgrade without upgrading to a newer version of Debian? A search on libdl with dselect of the available bo packages turned up nothing, but I suppose libdl is included implicitly in another package. Thanks and regards Tom Kuiper p.s. In case you wonder, I haven't upgraded because my system works wonderfully, and I don't want to mess with it until I can spare some time for dealing with unexpected problems. -- Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (137.79.89.31) SnailMail: Jet Propulsion Lab 169-506, Pasadena, CA 91109 Phone/fax: (818) 354-5623/8895 WWW:http://DSNra.JPL.NASA.gov/~kuiper/

Since upgrading a C-library can affect a lot of packages, you would probably get less problems by upgrading the whole lot to potato, which should be stabilising nicely. -- Regards, Paul
