You're probably linked to multiple versions of libc or multiple thread
libraries.  What I use is:

# find /usr/local/lib -name "*.so" | xargs ldd > /tmp/local_lib.out
# find /usr/X11R6/lib -name "*.so" | xargs ldd > /tmp/x11_lib.out
# find /usr/local/bin -type f | xargs ldd > /tmp/local_bin.out
# find /usr/X11R6/bin -type f | xargs ldd > /tmp/x11_bin.out

And I look for discrepancies (links to libraries in the compat
directory, multiple versions of libraries, etc.).  You might also want
to check libmap.conf to see if you have any stale entries.
