Installing old libc



 Hi

I have a program(An old quake :) ) that says it needs an old libm, 

libm.so.5

If I install a rpm package with this file in it, will it remove my
current libm?
I had a look at the current libm library and it is symbolic link to
/lib/libm-2.1.3.so , so I made a link from this to lib.so.5.  But still
no go :(.  How can I work out which rpm package has the libm.so.5 file
in it

Cheers

Tony
