Sounds like a problem with the dynamic loader. I'm not familiar with how Solaris does it, but with Linux you need to run a command to identify the availability of shared libraries (the names are written to a file in /etc). Alternatively, you can define an environment variable before running a program to tell it additional paths to search for shared libraries (including the current directory). I've used the latter mechanism to run game servers as a regular user without installing their .so's to a system directory. (The idea was to avoid giving the game executable system priviliges, to protect the underlying system.)
