Peter, 

Not really sure how to add to Jonathan's response below.

When I installed StarOffice it did not work.  I went to look at some of
the files and tried to use emacs. It no longer worked.  Then I tried pico,
another editor, and it too failed with a similar message.

Programs are designed to use lots of other programs, many of which are in
library locations - places the programs know to go and look for something.

The install removed some important library programs and I needed to put
them back.  The install did not remove the library programs, just messed
up access to them.

See 
man ldconfig

for and explanation of how it works.

Not sure if this helps much,
Jeff
