So cp works, but su does not.  I suspect this is because su is suid
root, but do not really have an idea what exactly the problem is.  The
dynamic linker ignores the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for
setuid/setgid programs, do you have it set in your environment?  And
does a non-setuid copy of su show the error?

See ld.so(8) for some background information.
