That seems really weird. When you run `ldconfig -p', do you see you're
libraries in the output? One thing you could try is using the
LD_DEBUG* variables. Try setting the command in the launcher to this:

env LD_DEBUG=libs LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=/tmp/ld.log <your program>

That should give you some debug output in /tmp/ld.log.$pid about the
libraries and paths used.
