23 Ah, I think we've gotten to a bad splitting of hairs. /usr/lib ->
24 lib64 and /usr/lib -> /usr/lib64 have the same effect, but are not
25 quite the same. The first is a relative symlink, the second is
26 absolute, although both actually point to the same place.

28 Bill - you might try "rm /usr/lib" WITHOUT the trailing slash, to
29 remove the symlink. Then "ln -s lib64 /usr/lib" will recreate it in
30 the form unsymlink-lib seems to require.
