I see this behavior on my system every so often as well. What fixes it
for me is to rerun the ldconfig, making sure that the
/usr/local/applix/axdata/axshlib directory is in the path.

What's weird is that this directory is in ldconfig_paths in
/etc/rc.conf, but I still run into this. I run ldconfig with the
directories in ldconfig_paths in /etc/rc.conf, and Applix starts
working properly.
