Subject:   xforms linked against wrong libc?

After compiling the development branch of lyx, I found it wouldn't 
execute.  It looks for libc.so.3, but 4.3 has libc.so.4.  The culprit 
is believed to be the xforms library.

My entire system is built from sources, with the exception of gtk12 
(which won't currently build and is needed by vim6), realplayer, 
netscape, and staroffice--and probably the exfroms library; I believe 
that make merely fetches the executable.

I put in a symlink from .3 to .4, but I'm told this is likely to lead 
to problems.  I've been asked to use ldd to check it, but I get 

fac13ttyp3:/root>ldd /usr/lib/libform.so.2
/usr/lib/libform.so.2:
ldd: /usr/lib/libform.so.2: Permission denied
/usr/lib/libform.so.2: exit status 1
fac13ttyp3:/root>ldd -v /usr/lib/libform.so.2
ldd: /usr/lib/libform.so.2: this is an ELF program; use objdump to examine

then

fac13ttyp3:/root#objdump -T /usr/lib/libform.so.2 | grep libc
fac13ttyp3:/root#


How do I check the links?  And is there a newer version of xforms 
around,linked to the right library? or is there a libc.so.3 still 
available somehow?
