There is now a small group of "check your libraries" proposals which you should consider. See for an example of such a situation http://superuser.com/questions/248512/why-do-i-get-command-not-found-when-the-binary-file-exists So what do you get from ldd $(which fetchmail) Are there any complaints about missing files ? Do all the listed libraries exist ? If they are symbolic links, do all link targets exist ? There might also be incompatibilities between library versions and fetchmail binary. Did you try installing fetchmail from Debian repositories ? (apt-get install or alike should care for all needed libraries.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
