libcurses.so and the obsolete one

Hi,

Having been involved with a DU 4.0E upgrade (upgrading to), we were bitten
by the fact that libcurses.so is now XPG4 compliant, it seems, and the
linker version is listed as xpg4. The old version is still there in a
different location.

We have an application that is linked against the old version of
libcurses.so (marked as osf.1).

How do we tell the loader to pick up the old one?

For the moment, we have told the loader to ignore versions, but this seems
dangerous.


Regards
