Hi,

I notice a lot of apps complaining these days about not finding libc.so.5, 
notably the *freebsd port* of KDE!

First of all how is libc.so.5 different from libc.so.4? I have created a link 
from libc.so.4 to libc.so.5, so apps that need libc.so.5 are actually finding 
libc.so.4. Is this advisable?

Where can I get libc.so.5? All I can find are Linux RPMs which are kind of 
useless to me....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
