@Eduard,

To uninstall a shared library in CentOS, first identify which package installed it using:

rpm -qf /path/to/library.so

Then remove the package with:

sudo yum remove package-name

Make sure no other essential applications depend on that library before removing it.

Hi,

What does the “hexadecimal value” means?

e.g. linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffebf9c2000)
