Hmmm.  What version of libc?  Does an /sbin/ldconfig finish happily?  
What's your enviroment look like?

RedHat! RedHat! RedHat!  Except no substitutes.  I tried Mandrake, 
most things work, it is faster, but occasionally I found an app that 
would not run (seg Fault), but on Redhat it worked find with roughly 
the same servion of everything.  I suspect their "optimizing" compile 
introduces subtle bugs (compilers can do that).  I've never used 
Debian,  but I know it's file system layout seems deviant from FSSTND 
(their very religious people, I like what works, at least as far as my 
OS go's, even if it costs me money).  Nice too see someone using SCSI, 
 but I'd recommend another 32Mb of RAM.
