1) VNC would have been a better choice, but...
2) ld.conf doesn't get "propagated" automatically; you need to run the
"ldconfig" command.

Good luck!

P.S. a really nifty thing that can help in situations like this is the
"ldd" command; for example,
babylon5:/mnt/babylon5/austin_cadence# ldd /bin/bash
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7eae000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7eaa000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d76000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef8000)

This tells you all the library dependencies that bash has.  Nifty.
