!!error while loading shared library. cannot open shared object file
This occurs when it can't load a shared library, use "ldd(1)" to determine which libraries this program is trying to link against and which ones are missing or can't be linked against. eg:
ldd /bin/cat
+
+!!No such file or directory
+If you see this message when trying to run a program, even though you can plainly see it right in front of you, there are a couple of possibilities:
+* If it is some kind of script, it might point to an interpreter that doesn't exist on your system. For example, it used to be common to see perl scripts whose first line was:
+ #!/usr/local/bin/perl
+But if you had perl installed as /bin/perl or /usr/bin/perl you would get this message.
+* Your dynamic binary executable is linked against a specific dynamic library on your system that has the same name (but different binary interfaces??) as the machine that the file was compiled on. This is particularly annoying as you can also get this message when trying to use ldd(1) to find out which dynamic library is causing the problem! If ldd(1) doesn't work, you are probably missing /lib/ld.so or /lib/ld-linux.so
+* More commonly this program is linked against a library that doesn't exist on your machine. If all your programs are saying this, try echo /lib/*, you'll probably find it empty :)
+
+!!Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
+ Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
+ Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
+ some_app: unable to open display ":0.0"
+
+The user running the command is different to the user that started the X-server, or is otherwise not allowed by the X server to create new (graphical) windows.
+
+Also see the [XAuthNotes] page on giving other users permission to open graphical windows on your X server.
+
+!!-bash: /path/to/script: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied
+
+ -bash: /path/to/script: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied
+
+/bin/bash exists and runs fine; the probably cause is the "u+x" bit is not set on the script. (a+x should overwrite it, shouldn't it?)
