ldd

My recent plea for help with interpreting an error message from ldd
either didn't make it to the list, or didn't get noticed.

Happily, the turnaround on the Ubuntu support site was close to
immediate and provided

sudo ln -s /lib/ld-2.4.so /lib/ld-linux.so.2

I can see that this makes a symbolic link between a .so file that's present in 6.10 and the name that ldd complained it couldn't find. What beats me is how one is supposed to find out for oneself that ld-2.4.so and ld-linux.so.2 are functionally equivalent.

Unhappily, with that link provided ldd just reported that the executable file I was hoping to get a list of library requirements for is "not a dynamic executable", so I'm right back where I started. 8-(
