Shared Lib Error on RHEL AS 4u2 with Oracle's compat-libcwait

Hi Linux gurus

I have encountered a shared library error after installing Oracle's Linux package compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm.

Platform:       Intel EM64T
O/S:            Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 u2 for Intel EM64T)
Oracle: 10gR2

After installing compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm, every linux command comes up with

ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: \ ignored

I have applied patch 4198954 which contains the new/patched compat-libcwait package. It is placing the library in the right directory.

The following information might help
% cat /etc/ld.so.preload

/lib/libcwait.so

% ls -l /usr/lib/libcwait.so /lib/libcwait.so
ls: /usr/lib/libcwait.so: No such file or directory -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2784 Nov 3 12:13 /lib/libcwait.so

So the right library is in the right location and /etc/ld.so.preload points to the right \ file.

Everything performs ok but I keep getting this error. Someone reported that they had problem rebooting and I am too scared to try that for now.

Any suggestions? Maybe John Smiley or Werner Puschitz might shed some light. Their articles probably saved me days of trouble shooting missing packages but it does not touch on this problem.
