sometimes you can change into the directory containing your binary and 
run some informative commands like:

$ cd /usr/bin
$ file zip
zip: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for 
GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

$ ldd zip
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00c39000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x004d9000)

$ strace zip
execve("/usr/bin/zip", ["zip"], [/* 33 vars */]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="jabba", ...}) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x9459000
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
...etc...

maybe you are using local lib*.so's and the lib path is not set in 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.so.conf?
