Hello: I have a compiled application program (MuPAD) that needs libraries that are not the most current version. It won't run on the latest libraries. I have tried to get it to run by installing them in a special directory and using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. I thought that this would get the kernel to use the older library. It doesn't work. The program uses the latest library instead of the one that I want it to. I have Linux installed on several partitions. The /usr/lib directory is on a different partition than the root directory. I use symbolic links to point to it. Is this my problem using sylinks? I read somwhere that this might be the problem. If it is the problem, it would be nice to have this problem fixed by kernel developers so that symbolic links can be used.
