Maybe it's missing some vital library or somesuch [1]. Try ldd, or if
that doesn't help, "strace -efile ..." to find out...
Good luck,
Almut
[1] for example, during transition from libc5 to libc6, you sometimes
did get similarly weird messages because the corresponding ld.so was
no longer found (the path to ld-linux.so.1 or ld-linux.so.2 is
hard-wired in the binary). I don't suppose this is your problem here,
though, as qcad-2.1 seems to be somewhat more recent...
