Recently I moved my entire /usr directory to another partion. Everything
works fine. However, on boot-up, there are 18 errors trying to open
libraries that were 'relatively defined' (I don't know if that's the
right term).

All 18 links in the /newpart/usr/lib directory look like:
filename1.so@ -> ../../filename2.so

Obviously before the move the link was pointing to a file in the /lib
directory off / and of course this is no longer so.

Is there an easy way of editing these 18 links at one time, or do I have
to, one at a time, remove the old link and type in the new one?

Should I even worry about it? I'm attaching the info so you can see
which libraries are affected.

Thanks,

jerome
