Did you make sure that /lib/elf/ is in the library path for ldconfig? 

If it still does that then I think that either you have a permission
problem with the libraries or you are using the wrong versions.. maybe you
would like to try my version of /compat/linux .. it's quite
comprehensive.. I put it on ftp.flevel.co.uk in /pub/bsd/linux.compat.tgz
