Library Linking Issue?

[ToadMan8]

I have a 5500 and my heavier apps (Gaim and Konqueror are two examples of particular interest) don't want to run.  "Error while loading shared libraries: (insert app specific library here, e.g. libpcreposix.so.0 in the case  of konqueror, libgaim.so.0 for gaim) cannot open shared object file:No such file or directory exists.

I installed the newest Rom and kernel from Hentges page and went through CardFS setup.  Apps wouldn't launch from the icons so I went to the console and got the above error.  For a while it worked if I was in the directory /mnt/card/usr/lib (where the actual libs are, /usr/lib contains symlinks mostly to /mnt/card/usr/lib).  The files that Kon and Gaim are looking for are in /mnt/card/usr/lib and linked to from /usr/lib but it can't find them.  I replaced the destination files with a snapshot of my friend's (he did the identical install today with his and his works fine).  Something is different along the way and I'm not sure what.  

Oh, and I have no CF storage (it holds my wifi card) - I was using CardFS to store things on my 256 SD card which seems to have worked for the most part.  Everything else works, like WIFI and stuff, I can SSH around and mess with things....

Ideas?  Sorry if any of this is really n00b-ish, I am to Zaurus a n00b (but know Linux a good deal).  And sorry if this is already addressed, my feeble searching turned up little .

Thanks all

It appears that you did use ipkg-link to create the symlinks from the SD card to the root directory.

What format is the SD card? The libs often create symlinks like so:

libsomething.so.X.x -> libsomething.so.X
libsomething.so.X -> libsomething.so

Therefore if your SD card is fat, the symlink won't be created and the lib won't be found.

I used CardFS, and my SD card is ext2 - CardFS bult that filesystem for me.
