This worked.  After checking the installed rpm file listing,

[root at tbox root]# rpm -q -l dbh
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/AUTHORS
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/COPYING
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/ChangeLog
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/INSTALL
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/NEWS
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/README
/usr/doc/dbh-1.0.15/TODO
/usr/local/include/dbh.h
/usr/local/include/dbh_config.h
/usr/local/include/dbh_functions.h
/usr/local/lib/libdbh-1.0.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libdbh-1.0.so.1.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libdbh.a
/usr/local/lib/libdbh.la
/usr/local/lib/libdbh.so
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/dbh-1.0.pc

I followed your advise backup, delete, soft link, run ldconfig,
restarted X and wahla. One little bugaboo fixed.

Thanks again,

Terry,
