If it had worked, it would have been a godsend--alas it complains
about the new libraries not being ZMAGIC files or something to that
effect. I checked the ldconfig man page and grepped all the FAQ's for
any mention of ZMAGIC, but came up empty. Any idea what this means and
how to fix it?

Also, is dlconfig related to dl at all? Reason I ask is that when I
make any of my current projects, it craps out at the end, complaining
that it cant link because of wrong version, and dl -v tells me it's
version 2.5 whereas gcc is version 2.6 (i just installed the new gcc
stuff, but I cannot find a newer dl anywhere). Would dlconfig fix this
problem, and/or where do I find an updated version of dl?
