My program is running using a shell script. In shell script I set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for accessing old libraries. This shell run ok on RH9

ldd for real program give:

         libm.so.5 => not found
         libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x4001f000)
         libX11.so.6 => not found
         libc.so.5 => not found
./ustation32: can't resolve symbol '__ctype_b'
/usr/bin/ldd: line 1:  1108 Segmentation fault      LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 
LD_WARN= LD_BIND_NOW= LD_LIBRARY_VERSION=$verify_out LD_VERBOSE= "$file"

and libm.so.5 , libX11.so.6 and libc.so.5 are in directory accessed by 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This is output of "file" command on real program

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked 
(uses shared libs), stripped

For runnning this program in RH9 I have to copy ld-linux.so.1.9.5 and 
libdl.so.1.9.5 in my /lib. I have also made this copy in /lib of FC3.

Also, if I chroot in a directory, I can see only this directory, so when I 
chroot in my old RH9 disk (mounted as /mnt/rh9) I can access only files from 
this wirtual root directory. So I can't access any other (i.e. FC3) library. Or not!
