You want to remove any in \os2\dll and only use the ones in \usr\lib.
Also note that the latest is libcn0.dll and the other libc06*.dll's are forwarders and need to be at the same level.

Dave,

Thanks for the additional information. I was not aware of the connection between libcn0.dll and libc06*.dll. Since the Guest Additions for OS2 do not include libcn0.dll, then we shouldn't be using the libc06*.dll files from the Guest Additions CDROM image.

Libcn is a fork of libc as Knut who officially maintains libc has no time for it but requested that if anyone took over maintainence of libc to change the name of it. The forwarder DLLs are so that older programs benefit from libc updates and bug fixes. Example is the recent (last year?) DST break, when it was fixed, all programs using any libc6* version benefited and once again understood daylight savings time, important for mailers.
