ldconfig confusions

[formasic@coates.formasic.com]

Folks,

I'm trying to get Blackdown's JDK 1.2 port to work on my Debian box.

The port is very sensitive to the version of glibc that's installed.
They suggest glibc2.1 (which is not in slink).  I tried to update to
that library using .debs from the unstable.  Now, I seem to have a
confusing mess in my /lib directory.

When I run ldconfig -D (to try and find out what's installed), I geta
whole bunch of messages that look somehting like the following:

ldconfig: warning: /lib/ld-2.1.1.so has inconsistent soname (ld-linux.so.2)
ldconfig: warning: /lib/libc-2.1.1.so has inconsistent soname (libc.so.6)

ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so has inconsistent soname (libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2)
ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.0-1-2.9.0.so has inconsistent soname (libstdc++-libc6.0-1.so.2)

Can someone tell me how to find out if these are a problem, how to fix
them &c?  There seem to be some serious naming problems here (given
'normal' Unix conventions), but I understand that this might be
necessary.

I'd RTFM if I know which FM to RT.

Thanks,

Simon Read
