Are these the Linux versions of these binaries? If so, you'll need to
fetch the libraries (or fetch the linux_lib port) and install it.
Otherwise, see ldconfig manpage and do ``ldconfig -r''. The first line(s)
of output should be:
/var/run/ld.so.hints:
search directories:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/l
ib
There can be extra directories depending on what you've loaded.
