| Hi all,
| 
| I have a wierd problem that I suppect stems from that fact that I
| installed the glibc-2.1.3-18.2mdk rpm. I get the following error if I
| try to run almost any program as anything other that root.
| 
| bash$ man
| man: error in loading shared libraries: libdl.so: cannot open shared
| object file: No such file or directory
| bash$ 
| 
| If I login as 'root' everything is fine. Anyone know how to solve this?

I suspect you have taken read perms away from that file for normal
users.

brent$ ls -al /lib/libdl.*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         9436 Dec  3 13:07 /lib/libdl-2.2.4.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Oct 25 16:00 /lib/libdl.so.1 -> libdl.so.1.9.11
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         6200 Mar  6  2001 /lib/libdl.so.1.9.11
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Dec 11 12:05 /lib/libdl.so.2 -> libdl-2.2.4.so
