I have registered with Linuxquestions.org and posted my problem there.  
They encourage questions from newbies.  There was one from someone who had 
Redhat with glibc 2.2.5 and installed a program which needed 2.1.3.  
Nobody ever answered that question, in nearly a year.

Someone else with a glibc problem (but only version 2.2.5 on the computer) 
fixed it by doing removepkg glibc and glibcso, at which point nothing 
worked any more of course, then rebooting with a Slackware boot CD, 
mounting and cd'ing to the partition with the hard drive linux,
deleting libpthread*, and reinstalling glibcso and glibc.  If I tried 
something like that, do I need to specify where to installpkg to, or does 
it install to the partition I am on at the time?

What does libpthread do?  

I might try, as Matrix Mole suggested, removing all five of the packages 
used in compiling, and reinstalling them.
