The file may be there but is there a symbolic link pointing to the "actual"
file name, like libvga.so.1 => libvga.so.1.2.7
'man ldconfig' might help you here.
You could use a script to start programs which need spiecial libs, in that
file use the LD_PRELOAD export command, like
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libvga.so.1.2.7"
exec /usr/sdoom
