No...the problem seems to be that we're calling the library a totally
different version from what it calls itself. Strings on the lib shows
that it wants to be libmenu.so.3.0 as ldconfig complains. I tried
removing the e anyway, and it still bitched about the inconsistant soname.
The ELF-howto mentions this and says to ignore the error. It seems hard
to do.
