shared libraries - cannot open shared object

Hopefully I'm on the correct group - if not any ideas where this should
go?

I am seeing the following error in the apache error log (filenames
amended):

....error while loading shared libraries: <libname>.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
....Premature end of script headers:
/apache-tomcat-4.1.34-LE-jdk14/webapps/....<appname>/<etc>

This application is making use of Tomcat but not a traditional Tomcat
type application in that it makes use of a couple of daemons which
require the shared library referenced.

Is anyone familiar with how we make shared libraries available to
Tomcat? the application functions correctly when I remove JK mounts
directing to Tomcat and use just the Apache webserver on its own.

TIA
