Kashani,
   I had no plans for Linux World. Never been to one. That said it
sounds like fun. Let's try to work something up off list. I'm down in
Los Gatos. If other Gentoo users are nearby maybe they can drop one of
us a note off list and we can make it a small party. Sounds like fun.

   OK, I emerged lib-compat but it didn't change the results:

dragonfly ~ # eix -Ic lib-compat
[I] sys-libs/lib-compat (1.4.1): Compatibility C++ and libc5 and libc6
libraries for programs new and old

Found 1 matches
dragonfly ~ #

After running updatedb slocate finds the library:

dragonfly ~ # slocate libc.so
/lib/libc.so.6
/usr/lib/libc.so
/usr/lib/libc.so.5


mark@dragonfly ~/Desktop $ sh ./thinkorswim_installer.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
awk: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open
shared object  file: No such file or directory
dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open
shared obj ect file: No such file or directory
/bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open
shared ob ject file: No such file or directory
<SNIP>

Same sort of problem for libdl.so.2:

mark@dragonfly ~/Desktop $ slocate libdl.so
/lib/libdl.so.2
/usr/lib/libdl.so
mark@dragonfly ~/Desktop $

and again for librt.so.1:

mark@dragonfly ~/Desktop $ slocate librt.so
/lib/librt.so.1
/usr/lib/librt.so
mark@dragonfly ~/Desktop $

So is this some sort of path problem? The installer expects the
library to be in a certain location? Maybe a symlink from there to
/lib/libc.so.6?

Thanks for getting me closer, and I'll check out Linux World for dates
to see when I could make it.

Cheers,
Mark
