I saw a message on the general forum (before the site disappeared) by a user
called 'Avi' who asked the same question.  BadJake (sysadmin) staid that
there should be a library "...rekall.so'.  Avi checked and said the library
was there but named "...rekall..so"  (I am using ... to represent the parts
of the name that I don't remember).  Avi created link to "...rekall..so"
using "...rekall.so" and the demo notice went away.
