If used correctly they should be no problem. Have a look at the section in
www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap. If the libs are in a standard lib directory
(/lib or /usr/lib) ld.so will find them without problems.
Shared libs are normaly nothing bad but you need to know what you are
doing (updating shared libs can be a pain).
