Hi Tim/clueo8,

in the thread at Dangerous Prototypes 
(http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6820) I wrote:

...
The error message means that the executable cannot find a shared library 
that it needs. Either the latter was not installed in the proper place, 
or the executable cannot find it. You did "make install", not just 
mv-ing stuff around, did you? You may point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the 
actual location of the shared library to run the contained programs, but 
that is not a permanent solution.

...


which still appears to be the relevant answer.

Greetz,
