DoOsChecks() in Xinstall.sh returns wrong LDSO{MIN,MID,MAJ} variable values !

Hi,
I am running a RHL 6.2 box, with kernel 2.2.14-5.0. Here is what I get
in the output of `ldconfig -v -n'
[root@telnetlin /root]# /sbin/ldconfig -v -n
/sbin/ldconfig: version 1999-02-21
[root@telnetlin /root]#
So, when DoOsChecks() parses the above output, we get the wrong version
number, as the output consists of the date and not the version. Possibly
it is a bug in RHL 6.2 itself, but could not find it in the archives.
Cheers,

DoOsChecks()
{
# Do some OS-specific checks
case "$OsName" in
Linux)
case "$OsObjFormat" in
ELF)
# Check ldconfig
LDSO=`/sbin/ldconfig -v -n | awk '{ print $3 }'`
[amarendra] LDSO now contains 1999-02-21, instead of the version number.
# if LDSO is empty ldconfig may be Version 2
if [ X"$LDSO" = X ]; then
LDSO=`/sbin/ldconfig -V | awk 'NR == 1 {
print $4 }'`
fi
LDSOMIN=`echo $LDSO | awk -F[.-] '{ print $3 }'`
LDSOMID=`echo $LDSO | awk -F[.-] '{ print $2 }'`
LDSOMAJ=`echo $LDSO | awk -F[.-] '{ print $1 }'`
[amarendra] The parse goes wrong here due to the wrong value in LDSO.
if [ "$LDSOMAJ" -gt 1 ]; then
: OK
else
if [ "$LDSOMID" -gt 7 ]; then
: OK
else
if [ "$LDSOMIN" -ge 14 ]; then
: OK
