Reboot Error: "initlog: error while loading shared libraries:
libpopt.so.0"
Hi,
I have a Redhat 9 AS 3.0 system, dual boot with win2k. It has been working fine.
Recently, I installed pcsc-lite & ccid drivers for smart card. While running ./configure for both, I gave --prefix=/usr. After make, make install, I rebooted. The system wont boot properly.
The grub loads, and I can boot successfully with the Win2k. When I choose linux, the initial startup goes on, till it reaches the Init stage. There I get the following messages ( they are not verbatim, and I am only posting some, the rest are other tasks which also [ FAIL ])

It gives me an option to type in root password or press Ctrl-D to continue.
When I give the root password, I get to a shell, Repair Filesystem.
I read other posts on this and other forums, and did a few steps.
/etc/fstab is as follows
-----------quote ----------------------
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 11
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 12
none /dev/pts
....
....
...
and so on

All seem to be fine.
Running df gives

I booted using the Redhat CDRom , in the linux rescue mode. I am able to start with networking, and was able to view all the partitions, access any file under various users, etc.
I am not sure what other information any expert would need to fix my problem. I am guessing(hoping) that it is not serious, since I did not explicitly delete any files, only installed some smartcard drivers(pcsc-lite and ccid under /usr ( "[pcsc-lite-@athena] ./configure --prefix=/usr"] ).
Can someone please help me fix any problems, so I can have a normal booting Graphical Linux system like before.
Thanks in advance.
