if an executable is linked dynamically, it needs loading shared libraries.
ldconfig is a way to define, where and in which order to find and load them.
also have a look on ldd (man ldd).

eg. you can do ldd libgtk-x11-2.0.so.600 in the dir where it resides,
and find out, which files are missing. then check the other library
for correctness and if it's really a shared library (not a symlink
or somethink like that).

try researching it a little bit ;-)
