 DM> Executables go in "exec" and that that includes the library files (e.g.

okay i grabbed the current text.dat and overwrote and then i 
overwrote the files in sbbs_dev.tgz in sbbs\exec

i still get that error even though those files exist in /sbbs/exec  and the
dates are 09/14

root@linux:/sbbs# cd ctrl  
 root@linux:/sbbs/ctrl# 
/sbbs/exec/sbbs 
/sbbs/exec/sbbs: error while loading shared libraries: libsbbs.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory  
root@linux:/sbbs/ctrl# /sbbs/exec/jsexec update 
/sbbs/exec/jsexec: error while loading shared libraries: libsbbs.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory  root@linux:/sbbs/ctrl#

so this is some weird shit.
i even tried adjusting permissions after googling that shared object file error
and that didnt help.

any idea what this could be? maybe i should just backup my menus and text.dat
and  start from scratch.
