"libexpat.so.5" not found

[Jonathan Horne]

something probably upgraded libexpat.so to ".6".  my .6 is located 
at /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6.  what i do when i get into situations where 
one app demands an old version, is just symlink the old version to the new.

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.5

this will cause apache to "see" a libexpat.so.5, but it will be using the .6 
version.
