That should be 'ln -sf', otherwise you'll have to blow away the old link

Yes, this must be 'ln -sf'. I made the mistake and had a very difficult
time getting back. (I eventually just gave up and reinstalled SLS.
Even after I recovered from this mistake the programs I compiled would
core dump before reaching main(). IT does not seem easy to upgrade
to lib?.so.4.4 and gcc 2.4.5.)
