[aclug-L] Re: Program needs libm.so.5

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

as a su do:
    ln -s libm.so libm.so.5

this assumes that the program is looking for it is the same directory that the 
other file is in already.
if not determine the path to where it is looking and make the link there.

hope that helps
