I was in a similar position some years ago - grab a copy of the needed
libs from somewhere and use "ldpreload" to load them into memory before
running the application. Google will help.
In some cases, you can symlink the needed lib names to existing later
libs and run ldconfig before trying to run the app. This does work
sometimes, but success varies ...
