I need help ........ I am creating a shared object in C so that a REXX
script can call into it. Now, I have linux mdk 6.1 and after I create the
so, I run the rexx script and it crashes. When I run gdb to find out where
the problem is, it tells me that a SEG FAULT occurs in /lib/libc.so.6  (a
link to libc.so-2.1.1). Now, the REXX documentation says that calling into
C was tested under libc.so.5. I have on my system a directory
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/ that contains libc.so.5 and I want to try this
library to see if the thing works. However, I have had bad experience
messing around with libc.so files. I know there is a tool called ldconfig,
a file called ld.so.conf and ld.so.cache created by ldconfig. Can anybody
help me put these tools together in order to end up using libc.so.5 to test
my program without actually removing or messing with libc.so.6??? BTW,
libc.so.5 is also a link to libc.so-5.3.12 in /usr/lib/i486-linux-libc5.

Your help is appreciated.
