Re: [SLE] Finding which Library version

Sorry, typos. Should read:

If you still don't find it, it is sometimes possible to fool the program
into believing the library is available. Suppose your program wants
libXpm.so.4.9, you can't find a package with that version, so you do, as root:

cd /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/
ln -s libXpm.so.4.10 libXpm.so.4.9
ldconfig
re-try to install you rpm file


The trick above sometimes does not work, so use it at your own risk.
