Folow the following two steps as root..
1) Add the following line to /etc/ld.so.conf file:

Code:

/usr/local/lib

Most probably additional libraries you install reside in this directory. If not, this is the directory where libdnet.so or something like this resides.

/etc/ld.so.conf specifies non-standard locations which the dynamic linker will look for libraries.

2) Run ldconfig program.
This will update some caches...

Now, try rerunning your appliation, I hope it works now.

And let me know what output you get as this is as far I seem to have got while running Firewalk....
