error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined...
same error.

I set about "fixing" things the *stupid* way...
I saw where libc.so.6 was symlinked to the 2.2.5 version and I assumed, since 
I was getting that wierd error, that that was wrong and tried to force the 
issue by re-symlinking to the 2.2.4 version. That went, um, poorly. Well, 
more fits of brainlessness hit upon me and I decided it was a good idea to rm 
libc-2.2.5.so so I could recreate the symlink. That went, um, poorly. 

Fortunately, thanks to the linuxcare emergency boot disk, I managed to fix 
things.

The odd thing is, when I executed the rpm command to reinstall Caldera's 
2.2.4-24, the symlink for libc.so.6 remained pointed at the 2.2.5 version. 

I've managed to reboot and have my system working, now. But I think I'll try a 
recompile of glibc again, this time rebooting when it ends. First, I think 
I'll grab a beer, though...

Thanks, 
Tim
