You need to build either a static version (i.e., loads no dynamic libs) of ls,
or else locate the dynamic version _plus_ copies of any libs it loads. Next put
them into appropriate directories of /home/ftp (user ftp's home dir).

Then, wu-ftpd will call that ls when asked for a directory listing from anon
users.

Something-to-try department:

Consider trying proftpd; it does not require any extra things in the anon
dir; it takes care of everything itself.
