I screwed up linux bad
Hey,

I definately screwed up my libraries, but I am not sure how. I get this error:

/bin/sh: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/libdl.so.2 symbol _rtld_global_ro, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

when I try to even login. I cannot even get to a root prompt. What does this error mean? How do I fix it?

Provided someone can give you an answer to fixing your library issues, booting into Linux can be done with your distro's recovery CD. Boot the recovery CD and mount the necessary filesystem(s) and make the appropriate repairs.

Most distro's allow you to re-install or recover your existing system.
This might be an easiest way to go...

This could be a good opportunity to upgrade...how old is your box?

Lastly,
Do you know what you did wrong?
Try not to make the same mistake twice...
good luck,
manny
