Look for the glibc version.
Yes, I know about the problem. its is a bug in the redhat 5.x
distribution. The version of libforms.so in their contrib package is
compiled for libc.so.5, but the dynamic loader will link it
with libc.so.6 (aka glibc) if it does not find libc.so.5.
And unfortunately libc.so.5 are
libc.so.6 not compatible (different directory structures), which
creates problems. You can probably set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
so that libc.so.5 will be found, but it is better to get the
glibc version of libforms.
