 !!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 
+  
+In Linux, one possible reason for this is that the shared library is not in /usr/lib. Either moving the existing library to /usr/lib, or creating a symlink in /usr/lib to its current location (e.g., ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdmalloc.so /usr/lib/libdmalloc.so).
