binaries and followed instructions from the release notes to upgrade my
xfree86 version. i am not sure the version is glibc 2.1 or 2.0.7 - would
like to know.

    libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4000f000)
    libdl.so.2=> /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40028000)
    libc.so.6=>/lib/libc.so.6 (0x4002b000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

following is the output in my system

         libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x4000f000)
         libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40022000)
         libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4006d000)
         libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40079000)
         libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40091000)
         libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4009d000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40146000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

there are a few difference in the number in the brackets - (i guess they are
memory locations - are they?) I am not able to proceed any further... a
couple of them from your list are missing or couple of extra are listed in
my machine. Probably you can help me now with what i should do next.


> Also, run 'ldconfig' ...
    the postinst.sh script that i downloaded with 3.3.5 ran ldconfig and  i
used ldconfig twice.
