Hmm. Are you missing the file entirely (i.e. it
was not installed) or is just not on a path (or
are its permissions incorrect, etc.)?

OK, so we know what file you're missing. That's
a start.

/etc/ld.so.conf contains paths, one per line, to libraries which you
will dynamically link. Check that:
a) the relevant libraries are present on your system
('find / -name SOME_LIB')
b) the path to those libraries is in ld.so.conf
c) as root, you have run ldconfig
to update from the .conf file
good luck!
