Possibly this binary has been compiled -rpath (i.e. hardwiring the search
path for dynamic libraries, rather than using the settings from
/etc/ld.so.conf).
Does "objdump --all-headers nscal" have something like "RPATH" in it?
If so, what may work is to make a copy of the binary and using a binary
editor on it to change the first character of the RPATH string to the NULL
character. Another option is to add a symlink to the library in a directory
that it is searching in.
I've seen this problem on a few occasions with X-using binaries that were
compiled on older versions of Red Hat.
