If the libraries are not seen by ldconfig... then there in might be your
problem.

If I were to be you, "as root" I would create a file using these
commands:

        touch /etc/ld.so.conf.d/be-remote-unix-agent.conf
        $FAVORITE_EDITOR /etc/ld.so.conf.d/be-remote-unix-agent.conf

Adding the following content to that file:

        # Support for BE Remote UNIX agent
        /opt/VRTSralus/bin

Then as root run "ldconfig"

Just to be safe, I'd open a new ssh connection and then try to run your
software. As you always want to verify "non-breakage" before you log out
of a working ssh connection.

Now, I am not there, but I would have expected the libraries to be
located in "/opt/VRTSralus/lib". Not that I know better, about something
I haven't seen, but you might want to check that. But it is entirely
possible that they are there in "bin".

Now if there are more issues, you might want to create a wrapper to set
the $PATH for this program as well. There are some endless number of
things to do.
