That's really old.

Probably just too old dynamics to be recognizable nowadays.

The command sytax for ldd is ok. A freshly compiled binary of mine
nicely reports its dynamic libraries when inquired that way.

This did not happen to me since about 1999. Iirc the error message shall
tell that the binary cannot find one or more of its dynamic libraries.
Back then it was an indication that the binary needed to be freshly
compiled from source.

I would be glad if my expectation would be disappointed that the
32 bit libraries are much too young for the medieval binary.


Have a nice day :)
