From: Adam Jacob Muller > > Try symlinking libm.so.4 to libm.so.2, DO NOT DO THIS! Library version bumps are as significant as major version number bumps: the bump is due to some form of reverse-compatibility API/ABI breakage. Symlinking over version bumps can produce unpredictable behavior and, in the case of a network program, create remote-exploitable bugs. If symlinking libraries was safe, the compat ports wouldn't install the older versions.
