You don't say which library the loader was trying to access, a standard
system one or a new one you created....oh well, it doesn't really matter,
I can think of only 2 possibilities for getting this kind of message:

1) you have either modifed an existent library, or created a new one, and
in either case not run ranlib on the library to reinitialize it. Look at
the man page for ranlib on this matter.

2) you are trying to use a development system that was not properly
installed...what this means is that one or more library may not have been
branded. They don't work very well if they're not :-}. If this is the
problem one might ask how you installed this software and WHY it wasn't
done properly???

Good Luck,
