Sorry, I'm not an expert with C across different platforms, but it might
help to link the libraries statically (heard that somewhere :) ). Is
the architecture on both systems the same (like x86)?

went to bed. Uploaded it and it still failed but I may not have
compiled it correctly. I have to wake up and dig around on this.
