Fermi/RedHat 5.2 installs ld.so-1.9.5-5. If you do "rpm -q ld.so"
you will see what version is installed. However it looks like the KAI
installer is checking for "ld.so.1" instead, which looks to me like a
packaging error. KAI will probably work just fine with the ld.so
version that's installed. I would try

"rpm --install --nodeps KAI-foo.rpm"

to skip the dependency check. At the very worst, you'll get a
non-working installation of KAI which can be cleaned up with
"rpm --erase KAI"

Disclaimer: I'm not experienced with the KAI compiler, the above is
just a suggestion.
