Existing libraries not found

[Patrick Wiseman <pwiseman@mindspring.com>]

When I 'ldd' a particular executable, I get

        libXt.so.6 => not found
        libX11.so.6 => not found
        libXpm.so.4 => not found
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4000d000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40016000)

followed by a bunch of unresolved symbols.  The unfound libraries exist in
/usr/X11R6/lib, which is in /etc/ld.so.conf.  The executable is almost
certainly an a.out (is there a way to tell?), while the libraries are
presumably ELF (I'm on a 'testing' box).  Is there anything to be done?
