Generally the "not found" there is referring to either a shared library
or the dynamic library loader.

And the problem is that I forgot to statically link the prebuilt
binaries I did last release.  (Oops.)  I'll fix that in the next
release.  (I might just do a release this weekend to catch up with the
state of the repository. The todo list runneth over, but that's not
changing any time soon...)

It's my problem.  The prebuilt binaries are dynamically linked against
uClibc, your target system hasn't got uClibc.  I'll fix it this weekend.

Thanks,

Rob

Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation.  Pick one.
