I'm sure we've had this discussion before but ... rather than relying on unversioned .so files (such as libXtst.so) which are generally only found in developer packages, we should be loading/linking known good-versioned runtime libraries (such as libXtst.so.6). It may be necessary to attempt to load more than one - such as libXtst.so.5 *if* someone has tested that this works - but that would be acceptible and more reliable than the current pot-luck loading of unversioned libraries.
