my general solution to these problems is to ensure i have devfs
mounted in /compat/linux/dev and chroot to /compat/linux.

eliminates any freebsd "interference" and avoids nasty blasting of
bsd libraries and such.

my guess as to your problem is that the installer is searching for
the libraries manually instead of asking the kernel.
