Doug Kafuman helped me to compile with the same mixed system of newer 
runtime libraries and older compiler libraries.  We had all sorts of 
problems and apparently this is why I had to recompile every program that 
I needed to use with lynx (ncurses, zlib, openssl).  The runtime libraries 
that I created this way would not even work (ncurses would not, I had to 
reinstall a version from SW8.0).  This is also the computer where plip 
will not work (nc - connection refused).  I have it working fine now 
between two other computers and I think it used to work with this one, 
probably before I updated the runtime libraries.

I think from now on I will not attempt to compile on a hybrid system of 
this sort.  What do I need to do in order to get back the original runtime 
libraries?  I will leave my original linux computer set up to compile for 
BL2 with the older libraries, and either not compile on any other linux 
comupters, or update both sets of  libraries (and compile only static 
programs).

If I recall, this seemed to be due to incompatibilities with the c
library, with different libraries compiled with conflicting c headers.
If I recall, we compiled everything from scratch and got rid of the
precompiled libraries. You also got fresh headers (*.h files).
