OK, you did 'rpm -qf /usr/local/lib/libORBit.so.0.4.0' and it said
nothing?

Oh hold up, now you say you installed ORBit from tarball, which is
contrary to what I understood earlier.

The problem with 0.5.0 was that the shared libraries called themselves
0.4.0. It looks like you shouldn't experience any bad side effects from
this, and 0.5.1 will have this fixed.

No clue how to proceed. All I can say is "good luck" :(

The first thing a programmer needs to admit is that any program is by far
more complex than his own mind. Thats why he partitions it into neat
pieces and avoids complexity.
