I downloaded a program made for linux and ran it, but it failed and gave me
this error message: can't load dynamic linker '/lib/ld.so. I read the
readme and it said that I need libc 4.44 in order for this to run. I looked
in sunsite but couldn't find it. What's it under? What compressed name?

This is libc.so.4.4.4 the shared library and ld.so the dynamic loader wich
are seperate packages. You can find them somewhere in the gcc tree. Look into
the ls-lR file of the ftp archive to find out the exact location. These packages
can also be found in the slackware a series. If you want to compile programs
you will further need the development libraries.

PLus you'll need the dynamic linker itself. It's probably in with the gcc
somewhere as ldso-1.3.tar.z. Without that the new libs aren't going to be
much use.
