Out of interest, I believe that "ln" tells Linux to use one file as another (a link) but under what condition is it OK to make the link as suggested?
Often, though not always, you can make a symbolic link downwards. Trying to make a link upwards, that is, from an older release to a newer (ln -s libwhatever.1 libwhatever.2) most probably won't work, since entry points, or function names, may have been changed or modified.
