title: Forcing a linux program to read the libc library file from another location
body: <p>My Machine is slackware linux 64 kernel 3.0.4. 
  For this machine I don't have root access and the administrator is not available. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to run a program that requires the library file libc version 2.14 and the one installed in /lib64 is libc-2.13.</p>
  
  <p>I have an identical machine where I have root access. I tried copying the libc-2.14 file from this machine to the first one then place it into a $HOME/lib64 folder and adding this folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then make a new symbolic link libc.so.6 to point to the libc-2.14 file  but the program keeps reading the libc.so.6 file in the /lib64 which points to libc-2.13. I can't modify anything in the /lib64 because I am not root.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to get around this?
  Thanks in advance</p>
