You have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to see all the directorys to        
libstuff.so files.  Pretty much each program should have one, e.g.      
    libotcl.so.  You just have to find them and then set your path...   
       
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH firstpath                                            
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "secondpath:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"                        
...                                                                     
    ...
