I'm away from my system at work (at RailsConf), but if I recall, it
has to do with C based extensions that I compiled.

I'd make a guess that the c libs are trying to link to libs that are
now not where they were when they were compiled.  Thus the unresolved
lib errors.

Dunno if I tried to manipulate LD_LIBRARY_PATH, mebbe that's it.
Maybe I'll try that when I get back.
