Try symlinking libm.so.4 to libm.so.2,


DO NOT DO THIS! Library version bumps are as significant as major version
number bumps: the bump is due to some form of reverse-compatibility API/ABI
breakage. Symlinking over version bumps can produce unpredictable behavior
and, in the case of a network program, create remote-exploitable bugs.

If symlinking libraries was safe, the compat ports wouldn't install the
older versions.


Exactly. Install the compat ports, or recompile shoutcast from ports.
