This is weird. I had a shared library disappear. libresolv.so.2(soft link) and  
libresolv-2.2.4.so which the link points to. I restored them from backup and 
when I ran ls -l libre* it gave me the following

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       261262 Oct  3  2001 libresolv-2.2.4.so

and the message that it couldn't find libresolv.so.2 (Notice that it knew the 
name).

There was no way that i could list libresolv.so.2

I created the link manually with ln and now ls -li libre* gives

  45621 -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       261262 Oct  3  2001 
libresolv-2.2.4.so
  39864 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Sep 18 08:56 libresolv.so.2 
-> libresolv-2.2.4.so
  39864 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Sep 18 08:56 libresolv.so.2 
-> libresolv-2.2.4.so

both links have the same inode. If I delete it it goes away and recreating it 
produces the two entries.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

Thanks.
