ld.so: warning

Summation:
The short of it is that the warning can be ignored because application was complied on a system that has newer libraries than mine. Or, the new library can be linked to "trick" the application. Additionally, the application can be recomplied with old libraries.

The following are some choice postings:
I get the same and had asked the question a while back. You must be running
SunOS 4.1.3 and the warning will go away if you upgrade to SunOS 4.1.3_U1 or
SunOS 4.1.4. I decided to just put up with it and aliased the applications to
( app \!* > `tty` ) >& /dev/null
and it got rid of the annoying warning message. However, you also lose stderr
in this fashion.

It sounds that your application was compiled for 4.1.3_U1, and you are running
4.1.3. I had a similar problem with Netscape, and just copied the named version
of a library in lib dir. No side effects so far.
---
You should set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to something like:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/5lib
and see if that makes a difference..
---
It's just a warning. You could either update the library to the 2.9 version,
or you could type
ln -s libc.so.2.8 libc.so.2.9
and that will eliminate the warning message.
