@BM: rm or mv -- no difference in this case; these are the libraries that come with OS -- can copy them from a different machine or a CD.

@oldmaven: I like your idea of making the OS look for those libraries under /local/lib instead of /lib during bootup. But that requires editing the script - while no vi or nano gets recognized. Also /sbin/ldconfig couldn't execute. Do you (or anyone) know if a text file can be pushed using echo?

@k'dude: I agree with your explanation on mv and 'rename' being the same (mv is what you really use in *NIX to rename a file) --- someone told me the other day that one of the libraries I moved (renamed) was PAM library, which plays role in authentication; and since the system doesn't find it on its default location (with default name), it cannot verify authentication.
