This is highly unlikely a glibc issue.  Especially since it works for 
others.

Well, try to debug it.  First, run ldconfig as root again,  Then, for 
instance, run

   LD_DEBUG=files,libs hydrogen

This will well you where the dynamic linker is trying to look.  If this 
all fails, look for the files by hand.  I don't know where these files 
are supposed to be installed.  I guess /usr/lib (or usr/lib64 on 64-bit 
hardware).  So, check they are there and check they are OK.  The latter 
you can do by running ldd on the DSOs.
