As a software developer, you are meant to know how to work shared libraries. I've answered this approximate question about 8192 times in this list alone, and 16384 in linux-newbie, so list archives ought to help. Put the directory path to libntdll.so (_not the filename_) in /etc/ld.so.conf and have root run /sbin/ldconfig, or put it in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Lawson I can't help it, sometimes I'm just a sarcastic bastard.
