You want to use:
$ ldd filename # or libfilename.so or /full/path/lib/libfilename.so
The output will look something like this:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb76f4000)
libclntsh.so.11.1 => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7557000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb76f5000)
Notice here that the second library is "not found". If you see this,
search for the not found file and put its absolute directory path in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and repeat the command.
For any library used that is not found in a "standard" location
(minimally /lib:/usr/lib but may include /usr/local/lib), repeat the ldd
on that library to be sure its dependencies are resolved.
