I had the problem which was solved by article <134870@sun.Eng.Sun.COM> 
from (J. Nisewanger, Sun Microsystems, Inc.).

  There is a security restriction in the run-time
  shared library linker that causes it to only look in /usr/lib and 
  /usr/5lib if the program has the setuid or setgid permission bits 
  set (such as xterm & xload).

  You have at least 3 options:

	1. move the shared libraries into /usr/lib, /usr/5lib or 
           /usr/local/lib

	2. link setuid and setgid programs with the static version
	   of the libraries.

	3. I've heard that you can add symbolic links to /usr/lib that point
	   at the shared libraries although I haven't personally tried this.

I used solution 1 which worked fine.
