[ltp] [OT] Library Files on Fedora Core 2

[James McKenzie]

Well, I did more and (finally) figured out how to get LD_LIBRARY_PATH to 
'stick'.  I still get the dependency errors.  I did check the 
directories and decided to copy the first  failed dependency rather than 
a symlink hoping to eliminate the error.  That did not work.   I think 
that I will continue using the --nodeps option.
Time to file an error report.
