Hi Alex,
This should be an easy fix, although it has nothing to do with ssh or
SOCKS5.
For some crazy reason Red Hat does not put /usr/local/lib in the search
path for shared libraries. Do this as root user.
# vi /etc/ld.so.conf
You will probably see something like this:
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib <--- Add this line
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
/usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib
/usr/lib/qt-1.44/lib
Then also as root execute:
# ldconfig
This last command will search all directories in the /etc/ld.so.conf file
and put them in a database.
Now run your program, I bet it will work. By the way, any time you add new
libraries be sure their path is in the /etc/ld.so.conf file and run
ldconfig.
