[ale] Cisco AnyConnect VPN client

[Chris Kleeschulte]

I have seen this a lot with precompiled binaries, but usually happens  
when the linker references a specific symbol in a version library  
versus the version-less symlinked pointer.

such as ibXxf86misc.so -> libXxf86misc.so.1.1.0

I am wondering if you should have just made sure that /lib existed in  
your linker's config file /etc/ld.so.conf? The binary should be using  
the linker to tell it where things are?

then run ldconfig to update the cache
