If you are running in a chroot environment it likely that the libaries
you want are not reachable from the jail.  Have you run and can you get
it to run from a non chroot environment?

If you can then the answer should be to copy the libaries into the
chroot environment and hopefully all should work.

I found this link  quite useful for explaining some stuff about chroot

Of course I could be talking completly out of my arse here.

Peace Jim
