There is now a small group of "check your libraries" proposals
which you should consider.

See for an example of such a situation
  http://superuser.com/questions/248512/why-do-i-get-command-not-found-when-the-binary-file-exists

So what do you get from

  ldd $(which fetchmail)

Are there any complaints about missing files ?
Do all the listed libraries exist ?
If they are symbolic links, do all link targets exist ?

There might also be incompatibilities between library versions and
fetchmail binary.
Did you try installing fetchmail from Debian repositories ?
(apt-get install or alike should care for all needed libraries.)


Have a nice day :)
