[ale] dll question

[Irv Mullins]

Hi:

I need a little help from someone in the know:
I am trying to call some functions in libvga.so, but cannot because I get a
null handle returned every time.

libvga.so exists, but when I do ldd libvga.so, I get the following message:
bash-2.02$ ldd libvga.so
        libm.so.5 => not found  

Now, libm.so.5 does exist:
bash-2.02$ locate libm.so.5
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libm.so.5
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libm.so.5.0.9    

Is there some kind of path variable or config file I need to change in order
for libvga.so to be able to access llibm.so? Or does this require a re-compile?

Lost.
