<scream/>. does everything fail, or just pdftex? I had a report of a
problem with the C++ library

I see

[spqr]~/Home/lwcex:ldd /texlive/Master/bin/i386-linux/tex
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40019000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40036000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

[spqr]~/Home/lwcex:ldd /texlive/Master/bin/i386-linux/pdftex
	libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (0x40019000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4005b000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40078000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

so what do you get on a system that *does* work?
