I seem to be having a whole whack of problems with this package I installed
from my 5.3 CDs.  Under "Series a" in YaST's package manager there is a
package called shlib6 which contains shared C libraries for glibc2.  Since I
had some programs which I wanted to run which were compiled and linked under
glibc2, I installed this package (in addition to the existing libc5 package). 
After installing, I noticed (to my horror) that I could no longer compile
anything.  Any time I tried to make something, the process would abort
complaining that it could not find ANY include files, even though they
existed.  The errors would look something like this:

In file included from /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h:52,
                 from common.h:43,
                 from bodyPart.c:21:
/usr/include/sys/types.h:4: linux/types.h: No such file or directory

I've tried removing the package, running ldconfig to rebuild the database,
re-installed the libc5 binaries, gcc, and I've even restored my entire /usr
structure from a tape backup, all to no avail.  Does anyone know what is going
on?

Thanks in advance.
