Hi Stephen,

Maybe the ld.so.cache is not updated. Try run ldconfig (as root). Check
also the config file (which is usually something like /etc/ld.so.conf.
You can check out the man page of ldconfig).

BTW, it would be nice if i386 binaries of gmsh (and also getdp) can be
provided as well.

Regards,
ST
