My guess is that this does not prevent DrScheme from opening. Is this  
correct?

What about the file "libssl.so.4"?  Does this one exist in a standard  
location?

Did you build from source or use one of the pre-compiled builds? My

might be safer to build from source.

p.s.: forwarded without permission (sorry) to the plt-scheme list, in  
the hopes that someone more familiar with the setup of linux can  
provide more information.  E.G.: is this just a missing ln -s?  Is  
this a misconfigured install?
