   When I stuffed up MY BL2 installation with upgraded libraries, 
what I finally ended up doing was re-writing all the library symlinks 
back to the old (2.1.3) library files, using commandline pairs such as:    

    rm -rf libdl.so.2
    ln -sf libdl-2.1.3.so libdl.so.2

    for each symlink that I needed to change back, and then DELETING 
any newer libraries completely from the /lib directory.

   And only then did I run lconfig.

   If you dont want to delete your newer libraries completely, why 
don't you MOVE them to a new directory created for just that purpose
and which is not in the path.

Regards,
         Ron
